Who Gains From Deep-Sea Mining [PDF]
, 1985 The Third United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) will probably be remembered as one of the longest diplomatic battles between DCs and LDCs fought in the twentieth century. The issue at stake was nothing less than a redistribution of ocean wealth, i. e.

Analysis of longitudinal coupling dynamic characteristics of deep sea mining vessel and stepped lifting pipe. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 In deep-sea mining, the coupling dynamic response between the mining vessel and the lifting pipe is a significant problem, which directly affects the structural design of the lifting system and the safety of field operation.

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.

Deep-sea mining: Superficial riches, deep hidden costs
Abstract Deep-sea mining (DSM) is promoted as a solution to secure minerals critical for a rapid energy transition1,2, yet its full economic, environmental, and social implications remain poorly quantified3–5. Here, we conduct arguably the most comprehensive cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of DSM to date, compiling and using data from publicly ...
