Biological responses to disturbance from simulated deep-sea polymetallic nodule mining [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Commercial-scale mining for polymetallic nodules could have a major impact on the deep-sea environment, but the effects of these mining activities on deep-sea ecosystems are very poorly known. The first commercial test mining for polymetallic nodules was

The false promise of deep-sea mining. [PDF]
NPJ Ocean SustainDeep-sea mining of the international seabed could begin soon, despite concerns about its ecological consequences. We join others calling for a ban on international seabed mining, but for a different reason: it is a multi-billion-dollar solution to problems that do not exist.
