Mining lumps of ore found on deep seabeds could be a means of supplying metals required for transitioning to a green economy, such as those needed to produce electric-vehicle batteries. However, limited knowledge of the deep-sea environment and the likely impacts of mining present challenges for the environmental management of such operations. In this study, researchers present an analysis of key drivers, barriers and enablers to construct a practical environmental management framework for deep-sea mining. Click here to read more
