Our training programme has been specially designed in the form of modules to build in phased capability over six stages of learning.
- Scanning – this phase creates a greater awareness of the opportunities and possibilities for client States that are considering a formal application to re-define their continental shelf under Article 76;
- Desktop study – this phase takes place primarily in the laboratory where the client’s task force focuses on the compilation of existing data and the design of plans for further data acquisition.
- Acquisition – this phase implements the results of the desktop study phase;
- Interpretation – this phase concentrates on the analysis and interpretation of data, which leads to the establishment of delineation points;
- Submission – at this stage, the client State is ready to formulate and submit its claim for an extended shelf beyond 200 nautical miles;
- Follow-up – this is the final phase which addresses comments and responses from the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf.
