Seabed Authority

The Seabed Authority, officially known as the International Seabed Authority (ISA), is an organization established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Its primary role is to regulate mineral-related activities in the international seabed area, particularly beyond national jurisdictions. The ISA ensures that deep-sea mining is conducted responsibly, balancing the interests of member states with environmental protection. It promotes equitable sharing of resources gained from seabed exploitation, aiming to benefit all humankind.
