Deep-Sea Mining: At What Cost?
Attention is turning to deep-sea mining, the emerging industry of extracting minerals like nickel, cobalt and copper from the ocean floor. Supporters see it as vital for supplying battery metals for the green energy transition, while scientists and environmental groups warn that seabed extraction could cause irreversible damage to little-understood marine ecosystems. Debate is intensifying over whether the International Seabed Authority should allow commercial mining to begin or keep a moratorium in place.
Why now: Ongoing debate over environmental risks and regulation of seabed mining as countries and companies push to start commercial extraction.
