The stakes are certainly massive\, while the tension is increasingly acute between the energy and mineral needs of the global economy on the one hand and the need to protec t marine biodiversity in the context of the fight against climate change o n the other. However\, this approach is reductive because the deep sea is likely to provide countless other services to humanity if approached with respect and in a logic of preservation\, which is often expressed very wel l by the Pacific Island cultures.\nOn June 13 and 14\, 2023\, the France P acific Territories Committee of the PECC (FPTPEC) will organize a PECC Int ernational seminar in Noumea\, New Caledonia\, to explore the diversity an d complexity of the terms of the debate\, with the participation of variou s stakeholders: companies\, researchers\, scientists and governments\, in order to inform and offer recommendations for the informed implementation of public policies around these still largely unknown virgin spaces. Some Pacific and Indian Ocean economies have either already obtained the expans ion of their EEZ or are awaiting positive responses for their exploitation and/or protection. In this context\, it would be unwise to mix exploratio n and exploitation\, at the risk of irreparably damaging this common good of humanity\; thus it seems urgent to propose elements of thought to state decision-makers.\nThe aim is to draw up an inventory of the knowledge of the seabed and its potential beyond the mining aspects alone\, particularl y in terms of scientific research and global health\, but also to shed lig ht on the technological and economic challenges for access to this knowled ge and competitiveness in these sectors. The issue of mining and energy ex ploitation will be addressed from the perspective of the expectations of t he countries of the region in search of materials to meet the new requirem ents of the fight against pollution or global warming and the environmenta l risks that it generates and ways to prevent them. Finally\, the cultural and sociological issues will be the subject of particular attention\, tak ing into account the contribution of local populations in the preservation of these spaces.\nThis seminar is part of the FPTPEC's work on the 'blue economy'\, which is part of the PECC's program and which led to a general seminar in 2022 in Tahiti. It is also in line with the French President's agenda on ocean governance\, with the hosting of the United Nations Confer ence on the Oceans in 2025 in France\, jointly with Costa Rica. Finally\, it intends to contribute to the reflections of the international community within the framework of the UNESCO decade on the oceans.\n \;\nDownlo ad: Summary Report \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \;  \; \;Main Findings and Recommendations\n \;\n Program \;(Time zone: Pacific / Noumea ) https://app.swapcard.com/even t/the-deep-sea-the-state-of-play-in-asia-pacific\n \; \;\n\n\n\n13 June 2023\, Tuesday\n\n\n\n08:30 - 09:15\n\n\nOpening and welcoming speec h \; \;\n\nJeremie Katidjo Monnie\; Member of the Government - in charge of the ecological transition and the Coral Sea Natural Park\, New C aledonia\nPascal Lamy\; President FPTPEC\nDoriane Sanchez-Le Bris\; Chair\ , New Caledonia Committee\, FPTPEC\nLouis Lefranc\; High Commissioner of t he French Republic in New Caledonia\nRichard Cantor\; PECC Co-Chair\, Chai r USPECC\nZhan Yongxin\; PECC Co-Chair\, Chair CNCPEC\n\n\n\n\n\n09:30 - 1 0:45\n\n\nSession 1: Deep-sea governance: can we really get everyone to ag ree? The diversity of issues surrounding the deep seabed makes its governa nce a particularly sensitive and complex subject. The deep seabed is legal ly framed by international treaties that seek to respond to competing issu es\, between resource exploitation for development purposes on the one han d and environmental protection\, sometimes absolute\, on the other. The e ra is marked by power rivalries that push certain actors to monopolize the resources that are indispensable for technological development. At the sa me time\, the crucial role of the oceans in the fight against climate chan ge and the preservation of biodiversity has been established\, other actor s are adopting very cautious postures regarding the exploitation\, or even the exploration of the deep sea. How can existing instruments be used to reconcile these approaches? Are new instruments needed for the deep seabe d? Finally\, how can we ensure that the existing legal framework is effect ively applied?\n \;\nSpeakers:\n\nLily xiangxin Xu\; Postdoctoral Rese archer\, Center for Polar and Deep Ocean Development\, KoGuan Law School\, Shanghai Jiao Tong University\nOlivier Poivre d'Arvor\; Special Envoy for the Oceans\, French Presidency\nFrancis Vallat\; Founder and Honorary Cha irman\, French Maritime Cluster\nVirginie Tassin Campanella\; Avocat \ ;á la Cour\, Founder VTA Tassin\, VP Scientific Council INDEMER\nMazlan Ma don\; Advisor\, Malaysian Continental Shelf Project\nGenevieve Pons\; DG e t VP\, EJD\nRena Lee\; Chair\, UN BBNJ Conference\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 - 12:15 \n\n\nSession 2: The Pacific Islander approach: what if the deep sea had a soul? The issue of the deep seabed is often approached in a purely techni cal manner\, from the point of view of exploration or exploitation\, or\, at the other extreme\, from the point of view of the sanctuary without exc eption\, as if the presence of man were to disappear entirely. This approa ch tends to reduce the alternatives and oversimplify the issue of the deep sea\, particularly in its cultural and sociological aspects. However\, mo st Pacific island peoples have always lived in a symbiotic relationship wi th the ocean\, which covers both natural and cultural dimensions. It is si gnificant\, for example\, that in French Polynesia the Minister for the En vironment is also the Minister for Culture. In this perspective\, the deep sea is not just an object to be exploited or protected\, but an environme nt with which we are in a relationship and which engages our body and soul . How do the island peoples of the Pacific think about the issue of the d eep seas\, beyond their relationship with the ocean? Can they contribute a viewpoint\, drawn from their culture and traditions\, which allows for th e development of an original approach to the deep sea? How can their persp ective be taken into account in international discussions?\n \;\nSpeak ers:\n\nJean Yves Poedi\; Ambassadeur des océans\, Sénat couturnier\nDomin ique Chu Van\; Trésorier\, FPTPEC-NC\nAlex Herman\; Seabed Minerals Commis sioner\, Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority\nJosine Tiavouane\; Respon sable des relations couturniéres\, Conservation International\n\n\n\n\n\n1 4:15 - 15:30 \;\n\n\nSession 3: Twenty thousand leagues under the sea: how can one live at the bottom of the ocean? Today\, the deep ocean is em erging as one of mankind's new frontiers\, on a par with space and the inf initely small. Unlike outer space - or what we know of it - the deep seabe d is teeming with a vitality the extent of which is still largely unknown to us\, and which represents a particularly important scientific and econo mic potential\, particularly in the medical and industrial fields. The ext reme conditions of the deep-sea environment have led to an adaptation of f lora and fauna that has generated a biodiversity of extraordinary richness and plurality. It's also worth pointing out that life\, of which we are c urrently the most extreme link\, originated in the deep sea. Naturally\, t he question of preserving these marine biological resources is an acute on e\, but in terms that are undoubtedly different from those of preserving m ineral resources. So what do we know today about the biological resources of the deep sea? What promise does this unique biodiversity hold for rese arch and for a host of applications in medicine\, cosmetics and industry? At a time when the contribution of the oceans to climate equilibrium is be coming increasingly clear\, how can we make the most of this heritage in a sustainable way?\n \;\nSpeakers:\n\nJohn Parianos\; Technical Directo r\, Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority\nLionel Loubersac\; Founder &am p\; Vice-President\, New-Caledonia Maritime Cluster\nGeoffroy Lamarche\; C hief Science Adviser\, Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment\nKev in Mackay\; Marine Geologist\, NIWA\nLauren Mullineaux\; Biological Oceano grapher\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\nKim Picard\; Director\, Na tional Seabed Mapping\, Geoscience Australia\nKarina Olu\; Chercheure en&n bsp\;écologie benthique\, Ifremer\n\n\n\n\n\n15:45 - 17:00\n\n\nSession 4: Journey to the center of... the sea: what technological challenges? How d o you descend to the bottom of the sea? Since Swiss explorer Jacques Picca rd's famous descent to the bottom of the Mariana Trench\, exploration tech nologies have evolved enormously. New advances hold out the promise of unp recedented exploration possibilities\, particularly in terms of observatio n\, but also with an ever-greater capacity for interaction\, intervention and even exploitation in these hitherto largely inaccessible environments. The issues involved in installing and securing submarine cables\, a cruci al infrastructure for the circulation of digital data and therefore for th e global economy\, are becoming increasingly sensitive. How is technologi cal innovation currently serving deep-sea knowledge\, and what progress ca n we expect in the coming years? How can the development of non-invasive e xploration technologies contribute to deep-sea preservation? Finally\, wha t are the issues involved in the 'technological exploitation' of the deep seabed\, in particular through various infrastructures such as cables\, fu ture deep-sea observatories\, or the search for and location of underwater objects: emblematic shipwrecks\, black boxes from aircraft damaged at sea \, space waste...?\n \;\nSpeakers:\n\nAntoine Queval\; Director of Bus iness Development\, ASN\nElodie Leguéré\; Sales Director\, Partner\, Pacif ic IP Services\nJean-Marc Sornin\; Président\, ABYSSA\nLaurent Mingoual\; Submarine Cables Project Manager\, OPT New-Caledonia\nJérôme Aucan\; Head\ , Pacific Community Centre for Ocean Sciences\nChristopher Gygés\; Member of the Governement-in charge of energy transition\, digital economy\, sea economy\, monitoring of free zones and social dialogue\, Government of New Caledonia\n\n\n\n\n\n18:00 - 19:30 \;\n\n\nSpecial Session: The Ocean at the heart of global issues: what role for the Indo-Pacific at the Unit ed Nations Ocean Conference (Nice\, June 2025) Together with Costa Rica\, France will organize the third United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC)\, in Nice\, from June 5 to 14\, 2025. This highly awaited « Ocean Action Confe rence » will be a unique opportunity to mobilize the international communi ty around the major issues affecting the ocean. It is indeed essential tha t all the actors involved - leaders\, researchers\, private entreprises\, civil society - commit themselves much more strongly today in favor of a s ustainable Ocean\, mobilizing all the means at their disposal\, from scien tific knowledge to technology\, from legal instruments to financial means. In this context\, the Indo-Pacific region\, which includes the largest p art of the world's ocean\, and many of its leading political\, economic an d scientific stakeholders\, has an essential role to play. In particular\ , how could the Indo-pacific be strongly involved in the creation of the I nternational Panel on Ocean Sustainability (IPOS)\, one of the UNOC delive rables to be presented at the One Ocean Science Conference in Nice (5-7 Ju ne 2025\, Nice)? In the context of climate change\, sea level rise\, and t he need for more scientific exploration of the deep seas and marine policy of the high seas\, what specific contributions from the Indo-Pacific acto rs are expected to building financial instruments to repair and sustainabl y use the ocean? More generally\, how could the voices of the largest mari time region in the world be better heard in the international negotiations and in the Nice Ocean Action plan which would be the outcome of the next UN.

The question of deep-s ea mineral and energy resources is a complex one\, particularly in the Pac ific islands\, as it involves economic\, social\, environmental and geopol itical issues. It crystallizes tensions reflecting the diversity of vision s and positions in a sensitive context of climate change and ecological tr ansition. However\, knowledge of these resources and their real stakes\, benefits and associated risks is still limited\, and it seems essential to adopt a holistic approach to encourage the emergence of collective approa ches and open new perspectives. What mineral resources are we talking abou t\, and why are they important in terms of humanity's future challenges (d evelopment\, social models\, ecological and food transition)? What are the risks and how can we manage them? What approaches should be developed on a large scale to avoid arbitrary\, antagonistic positions in the face of o ur collective responsibilities for the ocean?\n \;\nSpeakers:\n\nFabie n Trotet\; Directeur exécutif\, CNRT Nickel &\; Environnement Nouvelle Calédonia\nIan Lipton\, Principal Geologist\, AMC Consultants Pty Ltd\nJoc elyn Trainer\, Research Assistant\, Center for a New American Security\nJo hn Parianos\; Technical Director\, Cook Islands Seabed Minerals Authority \nAlain Liger\; Administrateur\, Française de l'Energíe\nPierre-Jean Borda handy\; Associate Professor\, The University of the South Pacific\n\n\n\n \n\n10:30 - 11:45\n\n\nSession 6: The vertigo of safeguarding: today prese rvation\, tomorrow... restoration? Even if they still hold many secrets\, the oceans have already largely demonstrated the role they play in the bal ance of the planet's biodiversity\, and it is likely that the deep seas pl ay an absolutely structuring role within the hydrosphere. Thus the issue o f their preservation is not debated\, beyond the existing tension between the issues of development and economic growth which push for marine exploi tation of the deep sea on the one hand\, and a protective approach which a ims to radically protect the deep sea on the other. However\, in many situ ations\, the issue of preservation may quickly give way to issues of regen eration\, as it is likely that human action in the deep sea will damage th is complex and sometimes fragile environment.\nWhat do we know about the c ontribution of the deep seas to the preservation of the major global balan ces\, both climatically and biologically? How can we preserve the deep sea s from possible degradation by human activity? How can we also restore\, w hen the damage has already been done or is still to come\, due to human fa ilings or negligence?\n \;\nSpeakers:\n\nHide Sakaguchi\; President\, Ocean Policy Research Institute\, Sasakawa Peace Foundation\nEudes Riblier \, Président\, Institut Français de la mer\nPascal Lamy\; President FPTPEC \nPaul Holthus\; Founding President and CEO\, World Ocean Council\nRaphaël le Danis\; co-fondatrice\, Thanks for Her\nFrançois Lambert\; Directeur Gé néral\, Ecole nationale supérieure maritime\n\n\n\n\n\n14:00 - 16:00\n\n\n Session 7: Conclusions and Recommendations \;\nSpeakers:\n\nGenevieve Pons\; DG et VP\, EJD\nDoriane Sanchez-Le Bris\; Chair\, New Caledonia Com mittee\, FPTPEC\nFabien Trotet\; Directeur exécutif\, CNRT Nickel &\; E nvironnement Nouvelle Calédonia\nPascal Lamy\; President FPTPEC\nElodie Le guéré\; Sales Director\, Partner\, Pacific IP Services\nLionel Loubersac\; Founder &\; Vice-President\, New-Caledonia Maritime Cluster\nDominique Chu Van\; Trésorier\, FPTPEC-NC\nOlivier Poivre d'Arvor\; Special Envoy f or the Oceans\, French Presidency\n\n\n\n\n\n \; https://www.ww2.pecc. org/index.php/event-calendar/past-events/event/694-pecc-international-semi nar-hybrid-the-deep-sea-the-state-of-play-in-asia-pacific DTSTART:20230613T015300Z DTEND:20230614T035300Z LOCATION:New-Caledonia\, Noumea () SUMMARY:PECC International Seminar (Hybrid): The deep sea: the state of pla y in Asia-Pacific URL:https://www.ww2.pecc.org/index.php/event-calendar/past-events/event/694 -pecc-international-seminar-hybrid-the-deep-sea-the-state-of-play-in-asia- pacific END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260519T144147UTC-8926H0338o@https://ww2.pecc.org/ DTSTAMP:20260519T144147Z DESCRIPTION: \; \;  \;  \; \;\n \;\n \;FTAAP - Charting A Pathway For Trade in Turbulent Times\n \;Tuesday 2 May 2023  \;  \;\n1100 - 1300 AEST\n \;(Direct Link: \;PECC Signatu re Project: FTAAP Pathways to Prosperity | APEC Study Centre)\n \; The aim of the dialogue is to advance APEC thinking on the concept of a Free Trade Area of the Asia \;Pacific (FTAAP) and how it can contribute to inclusive growth\, economic integration\, stability and \;cooperation in the region.\nThe dialogue will discuss the PECC FTAAP Signature Project .
