DeepSea Mining

Building transparency and fostering accountability in deep sea mining. We share data with the world on where and when seabed mining and exploration is happening

What does seabed mining sound like?

According to new research, a single deep-sea mining site could produce noise extending hundreds of kilometers—impacting marine life far beyond the mine's borders.

By one estimate, reaching net-zero will require six times more of certain minerals than are being mined today.

Some say deep-sea mining can help meet the demand, but scientists warn this could irreversibly damage a fragile ocean ecosystem.
