In relation to indigenous lands and territories, including sacred sites (may include exploration, such as archaeologic explorations, as well as development and use).

These include fisheries police activity in the South Atlantic, seismic hydrocarbon surveying activities and the granting of licences for the exploration and exploitation of minerals and related aeromagnetic surveying activities.

As an emerging issue, bioprospecting received the attention of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in 2003.

Intensive discussions followed on key issues concerning the definition of exploration blocks, size of the area for exploration, relinquishment and participation by the Authority.

Octahedron, why are you not responding?

And there is so much good that we can do.

In this sense, projects on the impact of the hydrocarbons exploration and exploitation on the marine living resources in the South West Atlantic and on detection and tracking of floating icebergs were considered.

Discussions have been held on a number of issues, including trends in bioprospecting and developments in bioprospecting, at international forums.
