Tesla and Panasonic have committed to phasing out cobalt, one of the target metals for deep sea mining, over the coming decade. But with deep sea mining companies ramping up their political lobbying against a strong Global Ocean Treaty that can protect marine life from exploitation, we need a stronger signal that deep sea mining has no future.

23/04/2020#0183;#32;The equipment, weighing as much as 340 tons, stirs up toxic sediment that migrates and disturbs other oceanic ecosystems, reduces the oceans capacity to store carbon, and destroys fragile deepsea ecosystems that required anywhere from thousands to millions of years to form. Some of the equipment used in deep sea mining exploration.
05/12/2019#0183;#32;Polymetallic nodules containing minerals essential to energy storage lie at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. In deepsea mining, a collector vehicle is sent to pick up these nodules from the deep seabed. The vehicle creates a sediment cloud known as a collector plume, seen here in the foreground, that is then carried away by ocean currents.
There is often a huge time gap between the exploration and evaluation phase and the start of the actual deep sea mining process. Equipment and systems such as vessels that are used to transport the mineral to shore, vessels used for exploration, mineral cleaning systems, etc. are
Subsea mining, or deep sea mining, is a method of retrieving minerals from the ocean floor. Deepsea mining operations typically occur at depths of 4500 ft. to 12,000 ft. around areas with metallic nodules, as well as areas with high levels of geothermal activity. These geothermal vents have a tendency to create globular deposits of valuable metals including gold, silver, copper, cobalt, and various other rare earth

Okeanus Science amp; Technology, LLC (Okeanus), an established marine equipment and engineering service provider, announces they have received a Purchase Order from NiGK Corporation (NiGK) in Japan for the development, manufacture, and delivery of an active
Deepsea mining is the process of retrieving mineral deposits from the deep sea the area of the ocean below 200 m which covers about 65% of the Earths surface. There is growing interest in the mineral deposits of the deep sea. This is largely due to depleting terrestrial deposits for metals such as copper, nickel, aluminium, manganese, zinc, lithium and cobalt, coupled with rising demand for these metals

The equipment will be used for mining the Indian Ocean for rare minerals, including magnesium, as part of a Rs 150 crore (33m) project. The equipment will be ready for largescale mining operations after a couple of years. The NIOT is also developing a remote operable vehicle mounted with sensors and cameras to explore ocean depths at 3,000m.
