to incorporate major trends, as was the case for changes in the environment and
context. As for the development of marine mineral resources, work focused on the
pooling and comparison of knowledge and prospects within the group and with
various players met, through an inductive approach (from the heart of the system to
its environment and not the opposite): investigation of the characteristics of marine
mineral resources, understanding of the conditions and context of their development, integration of global phenomena (cf. Table A.1).
