References

1) The term conservation has been preferred to the term preservation. Conservation suggests that a measure of economic development is possible without substantially impairing the marine environment.

2) It is believed that the imprudent use of certain contemporary or prospective technologies could have such catastrophic results as imperatively to require the co-operation of States, whether or not members of the Institutions.
