| Summary: | tion on the Law of the Sea allow Canada to establish sovereignty over resources of the seabed beyond the customary 200 nautical mile limit, when certain bathy-metric and geological criteria are satisfied. This paper outlines the procedures for meeting those criteria, and describes the mutual benefits that can accrue to the earth sciences and the Law of the Sea through programs for collcning and analyzing the necessary data. In the Atlantic and Arctic oceans, this work could allow Canada to extend energy and mineral jurisdiction into seabed areas that approach the size of the three Prairie Provinces combined. RESUME |
