Deep seaCritical metalsLegitimacyInterdisciplinary researchDeep-sea mining refers to the retrieval of marine mineral resources such as Mn nodules, FeMn crusts, and seafloor massive sulfide deposits, which contain a variety of metals that serve as crucial raw materials for a range of applications, ...
What this project shows is how the technology is advancing in a way that makes deep-sea mining seem much more plausible which confronts us with a very difficult question - is it the right thing to do given how little we know about the potential impact it could have on life on the ocean...

The idea, known as deep-sea mining, could provide the metals like copper, nickel and cobalt which are needed for the green technology used in electric car batteries and other renewable energy. 深海采矿或许能给人们带来铜,镍和钴,而这些金属可以用来发展绿色科技,比如加工电动汽车的电池,创造其它可再生...
The research has found that over 90 percent of species in one of the most likely future mining sites are currently undescribed by science, and are threatened by deep-sea mining, due to a global surge in demand for metals such as cobalt and nickel. The ferromanganese crusts host corals, ...
8.3.3Mitigation Mining The entire cycle of any deep-sea mining venture is expected to have three key phases. Phase I would include research, exploration, feasibility, and funding. Phase II could encompass system fabrication, operation, and rehabilitation, while Phase III may involve long-term moni...
The secrets of the ocean Deep-sea mining Deep-sea mining is a controversial practice that involves extracting valuable minerals and resources from the ocean floor. Proponents argue that it offers a new source of critical metals and resources, while opponents raise concerns about the potential ...
"The deep-sea environment is particularly vulnerable and fragile; it's a slow-moving environment, things take a long time to grow, to reproduce," Emma Wilson of the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition told CGTN Europe. "There’s no going back from any of the impacts of deep-sea mining, the...
specializes in deepwater technology. New developments and business drivers are presenting the dredging industry with new opportunities and challenges in deep sea exploration. Ground-breaking technology is being developed in this area by combining expertise and experience with intensive research and ...
The research that they are calling for is already required by the International Seabed Authority, a body established through the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea that governs deep seabed mining.In effect, campaigners are simply asking for the current regulatory processes to be followed and re...
