Deep Sea Minerals Project

The Deep Sea Minerals Project focuses on exploring and studying mineral resources located on the ocean floor, particularly in areas like hydrothermal vents and seabed nodules. These minerals, such as cobalt, nickel, and copper, are critical for manufacturing batteries, electronics, and renewable energy technologies. The project aims to assess environmental impacts, develop sustainable extraction methods, and establish regulatory frameworks to ensure responsible resource use. By understanding deep-sea environments, the project seeks to balance economic benefits with the protection of fragile ecosystems, supporting the transition to green technologies while minimizing ecological risks.
