Abstract
Abstract The rapid development of offshore oil and gas production, mining and other activities over the last twenty years has reached a point where any comprehensive view of future oceanology cannot avoid asking by whom and how shall the natural resources of the seabed and its water be managed.

The question is of prime importance because technology attends upon management and looks to management for guidance and inspiration. Moreover, management promoted by motive can only act within the sanctions of law. For these reasons alone, the year 1980 is of critical importance to offshore management throughout the world. In 1980 the United Nations intend to sign the Law of the Sea Convention — an event of paramount importance for future control and management of the seafloor and its resources.
