  1. “The work of InterRidge and its potential relevance to the establishment of environmental baselines, including the voluntary code of conduct for scientific research at hydrothermal vents, and potential collaborations with the Authority” Prof. Colin Devey InterRidge Chair, Leibniz-Institute of Marine Sciences, Kiel, Germany

  2. The work of InterRidge • Relevance to the establishment of environmental baselines • The voluntary code of conduct for scientific research at hydrothermal vents • Collaborations with the Authority

  12. The work of InterRidge • Community-building • InterRidge Newsletter • Email news alerts • Ship berth exchange

  13. The work of InterRidge • Information dissemination • Web site • Databases • Cruise lists • Meetings list

  14. The work of InterRidge • Science foresight

  15. The work of InterRidge • Science coordination

  16. InterRidge Working Groups • Ultraslow Ridges • Deep Earth Sampling • Global Exploration • Ridge Ecosystems • Hotspot-Ridge Interactions • Monitoring and Observatories • Back-arc basins • Biogeochemical interactions at vents • Ultraslow Ridges • Deep Earth Sampling • Global Exploration • Ridge Ecosystems • Hotspot-Ridge Interactions • Monitoring and Observatories • Back-arc basins • Biogeochemical interactions at vents

  17. The work of InterRidge • Science policy/representation Code of Conduct for the Scientific Study of Marine Hydrothermal Vent Sites

  18. The Code of Conduct

  19. The Code of Conduct No effective conservation without research • Voluntary Code to minimize impact and maximize efficiency of necessary research • Clear positioning of scientific community in discussions with regulators & NGOs • Outreach for marine environmental protection

  20. The Code of Conduct My personal view • Choice of sampling/measuring methods • Contamination minimization • Pre-cruise planning, post-cruise assessment • Personal responsibility • Maximal use from minimal sampling • Coordination of site visits/equipment left

  21. Science as a Stakeholder Ocean Challenge Vol 12, 1

  22. Environmental Baselines • No group in IR working explicitly on this presently • Mandate/Proposal for Ecology WG (Workshop?) • Initiate new WG on hydrothermal precipitates?
