Deep Seabed Mining Code

The Deep Seabed Mining Code refers to international regulations established to manage the exploration and extraction of mineral resources from the ocean floor beyond national jurisdiction. Created by the United Nations, it aims to ensure that deep-sea mining is conducted responsibly, protecting marine environments and ensuring fair benefit-sharing among nations. This code addresses environmental risks, promotes sustainable practices, and safeguards the rights of developing countries. It represents a framework for balancing economic interests with ecological conservation in the vast, often fragile ecosystems of the deep ocean.
