Three significant challenges facing the global marine science community lead to important priorities for the marine science community in the coming decades. They fall into three broad categories - earth observations, ocean exploration and ecosystem approaches. This chapter discusses five topics: Methane hydrates, Hydrothermal vents, seafloor spreading centers, seamounts and the other consequences of tectonic processes, Deep water corals, Ecosystems in extreme environments, and the genetic resources of extremophiles. The chapter provides a brief but broad overview of the many issues involved. Mid-ocean ridges, back arc spreading centers, vents and seamounts are expressions on the earth's surface of planetary-scale processes of ocean crust formation, plate separation, and global heat loss. Marine organisms are much more productive than terrestrial organisms.

The author highlights a recent successful example of international cooperation creating a system to conserve and manage highly-migratory stocks in the Pacific, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Convention (WCPFC). The seven-party agreement signed in connection with the UNEP program in the South China Sea is an important step toward broader international cooperation. In an area other than fisheries, but a very current and important area, many nations in the Asia-Pacific Region are working together as part of the Regional Maritime Security Initiative (RMSI).

Two most important measures taken by the Korean government are the reduction in number of fishing vessels and the introduction of the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) system. The continuously changing fisheries environment and necessity of international regulations reduction compelled the general reduction plan to be revised three times. In addition to the general reduction, in 1999, the Korean government prepared another track for the reduction in number of fishing vessels to accommodate its fishing capacity with respect to the narrowing of fishing grounds that was, and would be, brought into force by the multilateral fisheries agreements with Japan and China. On the basis of the Fishery Development Law, the Korean government was to buy fishing vessels and fishing gear from the fishermen who decided to quit fisheries.

Many of the delegates who participated in the General Assembly's debate highlighted the importance of anniversary. Main themes included the need to tackle the problem of overfishing through two methods. The first is sustainable resource management and fighting against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, especially through the action of flag States of vessels engaged in fishing. The second is through an immediate moratorium on bottom trawl fishing in all high sea regions, as well as within the zones of national jurisdiction. The representative from the United States introduced the Draft Resolution on Sustainable Fisheries, stressing that the key element was to protect sensitive underwater features and vulnerable marine ecosystems from destructive fishing practices.
