ASSESSING THE DESIRABILITY OF MARINE PHOSPHATE MINING
Marine phosphate mining The mining of phosphate minerals from the seabed. Marine phosphate mining would potentially use Trailing Suction Hopper Dredging technologies (TSHD), which involves dredging sediment from the seafloor and removing a layer of sediment of up to 3 meters deep. A dredgehead of around 11m wide is dragged on the seafloor
