The false promise of deep-sea mining. [PDF]

NPJ Ocean Sustain
Deep-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.

Measurement and modelling of deep sea sediment plumes and implications for deep sea mining. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractDeep sea mining concerns the extraction of poly-metallic nodules, cobalt-rich crusts and sulphide deposits from the ocean floor. The exploitation of these resources will result in adverse ecological effects arising from the direct removal of the substrate and, potentially, from the formation of sediment plumes that could result in deposition of
