Nauru, an island state in the Pacific Ocean, has called on the International Seabed Authority - a UN body that oversees the ocean floor - to speed up the regulations that will govern deep sea mining.
The mining of the ocean floor has stirred up significant debate, much of which clouds the realities of whether and to what degree it would cause ecological harm to one of the world's greatest resources. This week's TipSheet looks more closely at the controversy, which may well come to a head in the coming year. The latest entry in …
Deep-sea mining is the process of retrieving mineral deposits from the deep seabed – the ocean below 200m. Depleting terrestrial deposits and rising demand for metals mean deep-sea mining may begin soon, even though research suggests that it could destroy habitats and wipe out species. Deep-sea mining should be halted until the criteria specified by …

3. Pollutes Groundwater. Strip mining is a process that involves removing layer after layer of soil to create an open pit mine. The strip mining process can leave behind toxic chemicals in the ground, contaminating local …
What is deep sea mining? Deep sea mining is a subfield of experimental seabed mining that involves the process of removing mineral deposits and metals from the ocean's seabed found at depths of over 200 meters. Over thousands of years, deposits of valuable minerals and metals such as manganese, nickel and cobalt have built up on the …
Some companies say the solution lies in mining the deep oceans, but scientists say that could irreversibly damage a vast, largely pristine ecosystem. ... In September 2019, the Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu called for consideration of a 10-year moratorium on deep-sea mining, given its possible impacts on livelihoods, cultural …
The ISA, formed by the U.N. in 1994, is required to issue mining codes that would regulate deep-sea mining by July 9. If it fails to do so, some scientists and environmentalists fear that an controversial rule may allow mining to begin nonetheless. While Levin told Yale Environment 360 that she doubts we'll see it happen this year, she …
In addition to the above specific direct impacts that may be caused to tuna from deep-sea mining, it is also possible that the cumulative environmental impacts of deep-sea mining serve to make the ...
As world leaders prepare to gather in Egypt next week for the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), Oceana released a new analysis calculating the benefit of halting new offshore oil and gas drilling as an essential part of the climate solution.

6. Vertical ocean farming. Human action has affected the oceans too. Sea life has been impacted through pollution and climate change, but the changes impacting the ecosystem the most are those caused by overfishing. Overfishing occurs when fish are caught from the ocean at a faster rate than the populations can replenish.
The ship is designed by Singapore Sea-Tech Solutions Company and built by Mawei Shipyard in Fujian Province, with an operating water depth of 1600 m. Besides, the ship can store 45,000 t of sulfide ore and the self-sustainability of far-sea operation reaches more than 5 years. And it is the latest deep-sea mining ship in the world .
