11/12/2020#0183;#32;Moreover, scientific experiments indicate that habitats affected by commercial deepseabed mining will not have recovered even after 30 years and will remain functionally disrupted, with an inevitable loss of biodiversity on an unknown scale. For example, every manganese nodule mining operation will plow through the upper 1020 centimeters of mineable seabed measuring 200800

15/10/2020#0183;#32;Sustainable deepseabed exploitation to obtain resources for the digital industry of the future. Fincantieri and Saipem have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote the development of deepseabed mining (DSM), the sustainable exploitation of deepsea floors over 3,000 metres in depth.
Seabed mining is a new frontier for the mining industry and is very risky as our understanding of the seabed is very limited. The first discovery of deepsea minerals was in 1979 and we have no idea how the seabed ecosystem operates.
