Learning about deep sea mining took me to both the Pacific Ocean and to the Caribbean, visiting an offshore exploration ship & the HQ of International Seabed Authority in Jamaica. And months of work. Thanks NYT subscribers for supporting this effort. https://t.co/Tp7OvXUBJJ

The “Sword of Damocles” hangs over the future of Deep-sea Mining https://t.co/msDkYmZarG

[DSM Observer @DSMobserver]

This may be the most significant policy shift in the modern history of #DeepSeaMining. France is among the handful of nations that sponsor a deep-sea mining contractor (IFREMER). This would be the first time a sponsor state has come out against the development of the industry.

[International Seabed Authority @ISBAHQ]

With an increasing demand for low-carbon footprint technologies, a wider range and greater resources of economically strategic elements are required to meet manufacturing demand.
