6. The delineation of the continental shelf of a coastal State in accordance with article 76 and annex II to the Convention and annex II to the Final Act of the Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea ("the Final Act") requires a programme for hydrographic and geoscientific surveying and mapping of the continental margin. The complexity and scale, and hence the costs involved, of such a programme will vary greatly from State to State according to the different geographical and geophysical circumstances. A first approach will always involve an assessment of the particular case at hand, followed by planning of appropriate projects for further data acquisition. Such projects require the contracting of high-level scientific/technical expertise and modern technology. By nature, the costs involved in such data acquisition projects are substantial. In addition to contributing to the Voluntary Fund herein established, the international community should make every effort to facilitate the full implementation of article 76 both financially and in any other possible way or capacity.
6. 沿海国为了按照公约第七十六条和附件二以及《第三次联合国海洋法会议最后文件》("最后文件")附件二划定大陆架界限，必须进行一个大陆边水文和地球科学调查和测绘方案。这种方案的复杂性和规模，以及因而所需的费用，视不同的地理和地球物理情况而定，在各国之间有很大的差别。开始第一步的做法，都是对面对的具体情况作一个评估，然后是制定进行适当的项目以获取进一步数据的计划。这种项目需要签订合同取得高层次的科学/技术专门知识和现代技术。由于其性质，获取这种数据所涉的费用是相当大的。国际社会除了向在此设立的自愿基金捐款之外，还应该尽其努力，从财政上以及以任何其他可能的方式或办法，协助使第七十六条得到充分执行。
