Mining the extensive accumulations of minerals on the seafloor of the deep ocean might provide important resources, but it also has the potential to lead to widespread environmental impacts. Some of these impacts are unknown, and some may differ for the three main resource types: polymetallic nodules, seafloor massive sulphides, and polymetallic ...

Governing deep sea mining in the face of uncertainty
Journal of Environmental Management, 2021Progress towards deep sea mining (DSM) is driven by projected demands for metals and the desire for economic development. DSM remains controversial, with some political leaders calling for a moratorium on DSM pending further research into its impacts. This paper highlights the need for governance architectures that are tailored to DSM. We conceptualise

Environment and Deep-Sea Mining: A Perspective
Marine Georesources & Geotechnology, 2000Abstract As the quest for deep-sea mineral resources is gaining momentum, environment and ocean mining have become important aspects of study. Because many of these deposits occur in international waters, the concern for environmental conservation in view of the effects of deep-sea mining is resulting in these effects being studied in different oceans,

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.

Deep-sea mining as an emerging threat to deep sea ecosystems
The deep sea is the biggest ecosystem on Earth, representing around 90% of the marine environment. Despite its remoteness and inaccessibility, the deep sea is under constant threat from anthropogenic activities. Among them is deep-sea mining, that is quickly rising as an appealing alternative to land-based mining.Marlene Pinheiro +6 more

Pinpointing no-mining areas in the deep sea
Science, 2018Oceanography Areas near mid-ocean ridges are being approved for mining, and protecting these diverse seafloor ecosystems is critical The International Seabed Authority is responsible for regulating deep-sea mining in the high seas. This agency has developed environmental management plans to protect local diversity by identifying areas where mining ...
