Michael W. Lodge has been Secretary-General of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) since 2016.[1]

He graduated from the University of East Anglia with an LLB, and completed an MSc in marine policy at the London School of Economics.[2] He was called to the bar at Gray's Inn.[3]

As Secretary-General of the ISA, Lodge is steering negotiations on what would be the first international regulatory framework for deep sea mining.[4][5][6] He has been accused by some diplomats of pushing them to accelerate the commencement of deep sea mining.[7][8]
