dc.description.abstract | In April 2008, the federal Minister for Resources and Energy announced that the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) had recognised the vast bulk of Australia’s claim to an extended continental shelf (ECS). Australia is expected to endorse the CLCS recommendations by proclaiming new outer limits of Australia’s continental shelf in the near future. This comment considers how Australia should manage this sizeable new area of Antarctic seabed within the letter and spirit of the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS), particularly in relation to prospecting for potentially valuable biological resources on the seabed. | en_AU |
