Considers that, in connexion with the elaboration of principles underlying possible future international agreements for the area concerned, a study should be made with a view to clarifying ali aspects of protection of the living and other resources of the sea-bed and the ocean floor, the superjacent waters and the adjacent coasts against the consequences of pollution and other hazardous and harmful effects arising from various modalities of such exploration and exploitation ;

Considers further that such a study should take into consideration the importance of minimizing interference between the rnany means by which the wealth of the ocean space rnay be harvested, and that it should extend to the exarnination of the circumstances in which measures may be undertaken by States for the protection of the living and other resources of those arcas in which pollution detrimental to those resources has occurrecl or is imminent ;

Requests the Secretary-General, in co-operation with the appropriate and competent body or bodies presently undertaking co-ordinated work in the field of marine pol\ution control, to undertake the study referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 above and to submit a report thereon to the General Assembly and the Committee on the Peaceful 1Jses of the Sea-Bed and the Ocean Floor beyoncl the Limits of Xational Jurisdiction.
