Note: Because of the technical nature of the International Symposium， many presenters showed their slides， maps or other visuals in their presentations in Mi-crosoft PowerPoint format. Instead of including such PowerPoint in the printed text， the editors chose to place them on an accompanying CD that is found at the back of the book.

Lawrence Folajimi Awosika？
First let me thank the government and people of the China and especially the State Ocean Administration SOA， the Second Institute for Oceanography SIO， China Institute for Marine Affairs CIMA for inviting me in my personal capacity to this “Fourth International Symposium on Scientific and Legal Aspects of the Regimes of the Continental Shelf and the Area” in the beautiful city of Xiamen.
I also have the honor to state that I have participated in the first， second and third similar symposia organized by the SOA and COMRA in China. Hence， I will like to state that these symposia have created fora for scientists， legal experts， policy makers to interact and share views on all aspects of the Regimes of the Continental Shelf and the Area as spelled out in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea UNCLOS.
The Convention， specifically Article 76 provides for the orderly transfer of maritime space and use of planetary resources to states， without recourse to conflict. In the case of the continental shelf， it is by virtue of Article 77， paragraph 3， of the Convention， which states: “The rights of the coastal State over the continental shelf do not depend on occupation， effective or notional， or on any express proclamation”.
Distinguished participants， the adoption in 1982， and subsequent entry into force in 1994， of the Law of the Sea Convention established a legal framework for all activities in the ocean. Thus， a better understanding of the Convention is critical for all parties that may potentially make a submission to the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf CLCS for a continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles NM.
As stipulated in Article 76 of the Convention， the outermost extent of the con-tinental shelf beyond the initial 200NM limit must fulfill certain geomorphological and geological criteria. The process of delineation of the outer limits of the conti-nental shelf leads to the establishment of a boundary between areas under national jurisdiction and the Area. Many States， including Small Island developing States may have jurisdiction over enormous maritime space which includes unique and vulnerable marine ecosystems. As you are aware， the Commission one of the three institutions set up under the Convention consists of 21 members who are experts in the field of geology， geophysics or hydrography， elected by States Parties from among their nationals， having due regard to the need to ensure equitable geo-graphical representation also serve in their personal capacity. The vision enshrined in the Convention， as well as the work of the Commission， are unique.
The functions of the Commission are two， folds:
First， to consider the submissions made by coastal States， and to make recom-mendations in accordance with Article 76 and the statement of understanding adopted on 29 August 1980 by the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. Second， to provide scientific and technical advice.
The scientific understanding of the sea-floor and the subsurface has progressed by leaps and bounds. Today’s knowledge of geology， geophysics， geomorphology， hydrography and has shown us the real face of the structure of the earth beneath the oceans， a very different one from that which the negotiators of the Convention had in mind when they devised legal concepts like the foot of the continental slope， submarine elevations， submarine ridges， etc.
The Convention established that States， in order to assert sovereign rights and jurisdiction over a maritime zone， had to follow a procedural mechanism. By doing so， on one hand， the Convention confirmed the unilateral nature of the establishment of maritime zones by coastal States. On the other hand， through the Commission， the Convention introduced a process that provides a sound scientific base for evaluating the territorial aspirations of coastal States to vast submerged areas.
By envisaging a Commission of experts in the fields of geology， geophysics or hydrography， the drafters of the Convention revolut
