International Seabed Authority
The International Seabed Authority (ISA) is an independent intergovernmental body that was established in 1994. It provides a framework and regulatory authority for activities related to the exploration exploitation and conservation of the natural resources of the deep seabed beyond national jurisdiction. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) provides the legal basis for this entity which is responsible for administering international seabed areas in the interests of maritime nations and humanity. The ISA has conducted various research and exploration activities in the deep seabed and has also developed policies to promote responsible exploration and exploitation of resources in the area. It is also responsible for advising the UN on the conservation exploration and exploitation of seabed resources.
