4.3 Sea Bed and Ocean Floor

The shelf's seabed-and-floor regime: the resources' exploitation (the drilling, the tunneling — the coastal state's exclusive right); the sedentary species (the shelf's living resources — the attached-and-immobile species); the installations (the drilling rigs, the artificial islands — the coastal state's jurisdiction); the deep seabed beyond the national shelves = "the Area" (the ocean floor's international realm: the common heritage of mankind — Unit 8's full regime; the International Seabed Authority's administration); the boundary between the shelf and the Area (the margin's outer edge — the CLCS's process).
