It’s too bad that the Hughes Glomar Explorer was scrapped, as it was ideal for manganese nodule mining.
We are fucked when they start seabed mining
The ISA moved to formulate requests to be paid “royalties”(?!) from mining. Yeah, I would request that too. Pay me, so I can regulate you!
Refuse to use ocean floor mining bit children labor is ok 😂
No. These underwater mines are safer! The big corporations… they are trying to keep precious metals for themselves. I feel as tho this is a huge step in the right direction. We need to put more power in the people’s hands. This should do that. More resources for sll
Mine them, im tired of autocrats monopolizing rare earth minerals
guys, as a norwegian i feel obligated to tell you:
this isn't a disaster
its a great business opportunity to generate EVEN MORE MONEY 🤑🤑🤑
Are you talking in a box?
It's just like the shipping industry; what makes you people think that polluting the seas, lakes, and oceans with fuel, plastics, industrial waste, and mines WILL NOT come back to poison us humans?!
The air, earth, and waters aren't filters – they are indispensable resources that you ruin with your greed and avarice, further exacerbating the shortage of drinkable water and edible crops! That's where it ends up!
Soon we'll be eating compressed pills and cubes of industrially made nutrients, living in triple-filtered cubes (called "sanctuaries") and drinking sandfiltered, chemically treated bottle water, because there's nothing left – and that's IF you can afford it!
Best of luck to yas..!
Personally I see seabed mining is good move compared to land mining, as long as it done responsibly : No mining on seabed where coral lives, not using chemical, and keep the noise level low. The bad part is it will be hard to monitor as the operation is hard from common eyes to observe.
Oil companies want you to think sea mining is bad, if you look at the videos of the machines picking up the nodules, it clearly does no harm besides kick up a little sediment. We must pull the trigger on this and stop being weaklings
Not sea mines? Thats what nato needs.
I think you've really buring the lead on how detrimental this will be for the undersea environment. You should really watch Last Week Tonight's episode on deep sea mining, did it not long ago too. Talks much about the very present dangers of the practice and how the seabed authority has conflicting interests in itself. What I don't understand is why we simply aren't putting all of our resources into sodium batteries. It's so plentiful and can be the key to everything.
AMAZING! As always a kinda unknown subject brought to life in amazing detail and storytelling.
Human greed is endless

Maybe goodbye to Norwegian salmon ?
This is like clear cutting with napalm. It won't grow back. The tailings that extends down stream on land for miles will expand 3 dimensionally underwater. Nothing says base of the food pyramid than expanse of the sea floor
The death of the ocean, already imminent due to industrial factory ship overfishing and endless pollution, will be the first step before climate change, to a global mass extinction that includes us.
Pretty ironic that in our effort to "go green" we're willing to completely disrupt & destroy the deep sea environment 🤦♂️
which i believe will lead to a collapse of oceanic currents..
smh
I'm okay with this
Everything is an environmental disaster, apparently. Just rely on China 🙄
What about mining for minerals under the seafloor?
since china thinks artificial islands extends their maritime borders, maybe america should make some along the clarion clipperton fracture zone. fair is fair
Given civilization's mad thirst for minerals, and externalizations are allowed, it is the obvious progression
There is already a precedent in Pacific Ocean. The tuna population drops significantly when the surface harvesting is done, the disturbance at that scale already disrupt water quality. In that depth, water flow is not prominent enough to disperse the post-mortem, impacting all marine life that heavily connected to one another without our much understanding. The researchers immediately give it a no go after that. But the company warns that "if we dont do it ourselves, someone will do it anyway." That statement will remain open for self-fulling prophecy.
The need for under depth mining is because our so called "green technology". The battery is one of the dirtiest manufacturing we ever done. I know it because the process is so toxic, even my country ppl manages to have a big movement, scaring off any future investors XD They are done by China. And I'm not surprised, the mining will be done by China sooner or later.
Scandinavian culture has always been about profits and marketing all those countries are "socialism" failures under the guise of frugality. They are not nor have ever been the "happiest" countries on earth. It's always been about making socialism palatable. Their digustingly poisonous salmon and cod farming is solid proof of that. So is the cheap Ikea cabinets you installed 5 years ago that came crashing down, destroying your grandparent's Spode china that was irreplaceable and worth a small fortune. But their meatballs are the single greatest lure to coax bears out of trees in your backyard…for what it's worth😂😂❤
Underwater mining should be banned, because it might be harmful, but surface mining is ok, because we know for certain that it's harmful. great logic by so-called environmentalists
Where I already heard this Voice?
ultimately countries will do it and the UN is powerless to stop it. you think china won't invest in this?
how do we know so little about the consequences when we do so much oil pumping from the sea floor?
