The case study area is centered on the ridge axis from the southern boundary of the Portuguese ECS claim to the northern boundary of the UK ECS claim at Ascension Island and extends 500 km to either side of the axis. Two management subunits are proposed here: nMAR and the RTF. Existing French, Polish, and Russian Federation exploration contracts for SMS are from the ISA database (www.isa.org.jm).
