3 priority science questions that need to be answered: 
How can we enable multisectoral management so that fishing, mining, energy and other potential are addressed together? How can we build stewardship capacity globally so that countries with deep-sea resources within their EEZs have the ability to manage and conserve them? How can natural scientists engage with social scientists to place value on deep-sea biodiversity in a way that promotes conservation and stewardship?
