 Continental shelf - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most commercial exploitation, such as oil and gas extraction, from the sea takes place on the continental shelf.
The pelagic (water column) environment of the continental shelf constitutes the neritic zone, and the benthic (sea floor) province of the shelf is the sublittoral zone.(Pinet 316-17, 418-19)
The continental shelf is the extended perimeter of each continent, which is covered during interglacial periods such as the current epoch by relatively shallow seas (known as shelf seas) and gulfs.

 Commercial Finance Group - Shelf Registration
This procedure is know as shelf registration because the company puts its new securities ‘on the shelf’ and sells them to investors when it feels the market is right.
The main advantages to this sort of registration over a standard registration are that the company maintains greater control over the timing of the sale, and the issuance costs are generally lower.
Smaller companies are generally unable to use this type of registration because the short window of time between the registration and the sale does not give potential investors enough time to make an informed decision about the company.

 GRIDtoday: HOW DOES ONE REALLY CHARACTERIZE GRID COMPUTING?
The need for central control of commercial grid resources should not only exist, it should be extended to improve the performance of commercial off-the-shelf software applications whose binary codes cannot be modified for optimization or for use with toolkits such as Globus.

 West Coast rockfish stocks / U.S. likely to impose bottom-fishing ban
A new government report on plummeting rockfish populations is expected to result in a ban on most forms of bottom fishing on the West Coast's continental shelf, devastating major segments of the commercial and sport fishing industries.
The study does not specifically recommend banning bottom fishing on the continental shelf, but the limits it sets for acceptable catches of several species are so low it would amount to the same thing.
Garrison said she plans to petition Congress for financial assistance to commercial fishermen who could be affected by the expected bans on bottom fishing.
