Deep sea mining: A new way forward or looming disaster?
On July 10, 2023, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) began a three-week-long discussion in Jamaica. Talks such as these are crucial as controversial proposals to allow deep-sea mining are set to take centre stage. Moreover, many nations and private institutions are proposing deep sea mining as a source to extract minerals to promote the world’s push for green technology.
So, let’s take a look into this.
Deep-sea mining involves extracting ores rich in cobalt, manganese, zinc and other rare metals from the sea floor. These rare metals build batteries for electric vehicles, smartphones and laptops.
Several nations, including India, have their eyes set on deep-sea mining. However, experts have raised an alarm over the potentially harmful impacts on ocean biodiversity.

Could Deep-Sea Mining Fix The Global Minerals Shortage?
There are billions of tons and billions of dollars worth of critical minerals at the bottom of the ocean, including nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. These metals are vital to electric vehicle batteries and the clean energy transition as a whole. But the debate over whether or not to extract them has become a global controversy, as many fear the potential ecological disruptions it could cause in a part of our planet that remains largely unexplored. What’s more, international regulations for deep-sea mining have yet to be finalized, and the United Nations-affiliated regulatory agency in charge, the International Seabed Authority, recently missed a key deadline to do so.
In the midst of this uncertainly, The Metals Company is forging ahead. The company plans to submit a mining applicati...

Deep Sea Mining: The Next Climate Disaster No One’s Talking About | Vasser Seydel | TEDxBoston
Industrial deep-seabed mining in international waters could begin as soon as July 2023. If permitted, deep-sea mining could irreversibly impact the oceans' role in climate stability, biodiversity and economies.
The ocean is largely the reason we don't have runaway climate change today. It sequesters massive amounts of atmospheric carbon and absorbs the majority of the planet's rising heat, and as a result, we're already seeing symptoms of the ocean’s health decline: increased acidification, ocean deoxygenation and mass biodiversity loss. Despite international scientists, governments and civil society sounding the alarm, there's a new destructive industry on the horizon, deep seabed mining.
The deep sea is the largest habitat on the planet, yet so we know so little about it. Over 99% of t...

On July 10, 2023, the International Seabed Authority (ISA) began a three-week-long discussion in Jamaica. Talks such as these are crucial as controversial proposals to allow deep-sea mining are set to take centre stage. Moreover, many nations and private institutions are proposing deep sea mining as a source to extract minerals to promote the world’s push for green technology.
So, let’s take a look into this.
Deep-sea mining involves extracting ores rich in cobalt, manganese, zinc and other rare metals from the sea floor. These rare metals build batteries for electric vehicles, smartphones and laptops.
Several nations, including India, have their eyes set on deep-sea mining. However, experts have raised an alarm over the potentially harmful impacts on ocean biodiversity.
“There is not enough rigorous scientific information available concerning the biology, ecology and connectivity of deep-sea species and ecosystems, or all the ecosystem services they provide, and Without this information, one could not understand the potential risks of the mining activity for deep-ocean biodiversity, ecosystems and human well-being,”
Jessica Battle, Expert on global ocean governance and policy, The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF)
The debate regarding deep sea mining was triggered by Nauru, a tiny island northeast of Australia after formally requesting a commercial licence from the ISA in 2021.
In doing so, it gave the ISA a 2-year deadline to develop regulations for deep-sea mining. That deadline was July 9, 2023. Some 18 states have taken positions against deep-sea mining in international waters. They are calling for a pause or moratorium on the practice over environmental concerns and could be given the chance to vote on a new ban over the next month. The supporters, on the other hand, argue that these minerals are needed if the world is to meet the demand for green technologies. The International Energy Agency has projected that achieving net-zero global greenhouse gas emissions would see mineral demand quadruple for clean energy technologies. But Scientists fear a possible "gold rush" for precious metals beneath the oceans could have a huge impact on marine life, especially in the form of noise and light pollution.
Whatever happens in Jamaica, the decisions made at these ISA meetings will be pivotal in shaping the future of deep-sea mining regulations.

In the midst of this uncertainly, The Metals Company is forging ahead. The company plans to submit a mining application next year and begin extraction by 2025. But considering the absence of global governance, many remain concerned that this timeline is too aggressive. Major corporations including Google and Samsung, alongside automakers BMW, Volkswagen, Volvo, Renault and Rivian have lined up against deep-sea mining - promising not to source minerals from the ocean until the scientific uncertainties are addressed, and regulations are in place.
CORRECTION: At 5:43 we misstate the name of The Metals Company’s project area that is ranked as having the largest undeveloped nickel deposit in the world, and encompasses nearly 29,000 square miles of seafloor. This area is called NORI. NORI-D is a smaller subset of the full NORI license area.

Industrial deep-seabed mining in international waters could begin as soon as July 2023. If permitted, deep-sea mining could irreversibly impact the oceans' role in climate stability, biodiversity and economies.
The ocean is largely the reason we don't have runaway climate change today. It sequesters massive amounts of atmospheric carbon and absorbs the majority of the planet's rising heat, and as a result, we're already seeing symptoms of the ocean’s health decline: increased acidification, ocean deoxygenation and mass biodiversity loss. Despite international scientists, governments and civil society sounding the alarm, there's a new destructive industry on the horizon, deep seabed mining.
The deep sea is the largest habitat on the planet, yet so we know so little about it. Over 99% of the seabed is unexplored, and we have better maps of the Moon and Mars than the seafloor. What we do know is life exists and hides secrets to our origins, medicines & innovations. Deep-sea mining would permanently destroy these fragile ecosystems before we even get a chance to fully understand them.
We need a healthy ocean to survive. The ocean is home to the majority of life on the planet. It also produces more oxygen and stores more carbon than any other place on Earth. Rushing to mine the deep sea and gambling with our life support system, is unnecessary and far too big of a risk.
Interest in mining the deep-seabed is under the guise of fueling the green energy revolution. Deep-seabed mining as a climate solution is an oxymoron. The deep sea creates the climate we enjoy and rely on for survival, by ocean currents propelled by upwelling from the deep sea. It is also critical for the ocean food web, which coastal communities also rely on for food sovereignty, culture & economies. In 1990, 50% of total global population lived within 200 km of a coastline at the time of analysis, with over two-thirds of the population within 400 km of a coastline; and by 2025 70% would live within 200 km of the coastline and over 3 billion people worldwide rely on food from the ocean as a significant source of animal protein. The deep-sea is one of the largest carbon sinks and is important longterm carbon sequestration. Further, deep-sea mining will simply be an extension of already harmful mining practices into new out of sight and out of mind depths. The good news is, we don’t need deep-sea mining. We need less minerals than we think: we can reduce demand by 58% from now to 2050 with new technology, adopting circular economy models and recycling.
While the momentum for a moratorium is shifting, the window to act is closing. Join us to #DefendTheDeep so the ocean, the planet, and humanity can thrive for generations to come.

Industrial deep-seabed mining in international waters could begin as soon as July 2023. If permitted, deep-sea mining could irreversibly impact the oceans' role in climate stability, biodiversity and economies.
The ocean is largely the reason we don't have runaway climate change today. It sequesters massive amounts of atmospheric carbon and absorbs the majority of the planet's rising heat, and as a result, we're already seeing symptoms of the ocean’s health decline: increased acidification, ocean deoxygenation and mass biodiversity loss. Despite international scientists, governments and civil society sounding the alarm, there's a new destructive industry on the horizon, deep seabed mining.
The deep sea is the largest habitat on the planet, yet so we know so little about it. Over 99% of the seabed is unexplored, and we have better maps of the Moon and Mars than the seafloor. What we do know is life exists and hides secrets to our origins, medicines & innovations. Deep-sea mining would permanently destroy these fragile ecosystems before we even get a chance to fully understand them.
We need a healthy ocean to survive. The ocean is home to the majority of life on the planet. It also produces more oxygen and stores more carbon than any other place on Earth. Rushing to mine the deep sea and gambling with our life support system, is unnecessary and far too big of a risk.
Interest in mining the deep-seabed is under the guise of fueling the green energy revolution. Deep-seabed mining as a climate solution is an oxymoron. The deep sea creates the climate we enjoy and rely on for survival, by ocean currents propelled by upwelling from the deep sea. It is also critical for the ocean food web, which coastal communities also rely on for food sovereignty, culture & economies. In 1990, 50% of total global population lived within 200 km of a coastline at the time of analysis, with over two-thirds of the population within 400 km of a coastline; and by 2025 70% would live within 200 km of the coastline and over 3 billion people worldwide rely on food from the ocean as a significant source of animal protein. The deep-sea is one of the largest carbon sinks and is important longterm carbon sequestration. Further, deep-sea mining will simply be an extension of already harmful mining practices into new out of sight and out of mind depths. The good news is, we don’t need deep-sea mining. We need less minerals than we think: we can reduce demand by 58% from now to 2050 with new technology, adopting circular economy models and recycling.
