A recent @Nature paper finds that modern nodule collection systems have a demonstrably smaller impact footprint than first-generation systems tested 50 years ago, pointing to the potential for rapid recovery and fewer long-term effects.

As the authors note, “keeping up with technological innovations will be key to more realistic impact assessments of deep-sea mining.”

The results are in. Midwater plumes—once feared to spread widely and harm fisheries—rapidly dilute to background levels within several kilometers, while operations at 2,000-meter depth bypass the vast majority of fish and other marine life far above. #deepseamining

A new paper in Global Policy finds the amplification of speculative claims regarding deep-sea mining through NGO advocacy campaigns and media narratives have undermined evidence-based dialogue, and hindered informed decision making.

“Safeguarding the role of science in global deep-sea mining governance demands humility from researchers, responsibility from publishers, discernment from policymakers, and a collective commitment to resisting the temptation to let advocacy override evidence.”
