depths beyond the claims of any sovereign states to offshore 

 rights, some attention was given to international legal consider- 

 ations. Thirty papers were presented, and the workshop results 

 have recently been published. Papers on properties of ocean 

 sediments have also been published. Figures 33 and 34 are 

 based on analysis of samples at LDGO. A coordinating office 

 was set up at LDGO to administer a multifaceted definition 

 study being done by 10 investigators from Columbia Univers- 

 ity and 10 others from as many other institutions. The results 

 of the definition study and recommendations for future re- 

 search have been published. 



The report and recommendations can be used as guide- 

 lines for future research by all groups interested in studying 

 the mineral potential of the ocean. IDOE will be especially 

 concerned with those aspects that relate to the origin and 

 distrbution of the nodules.
