Marine Mining Technologies

Marine mining technologies involve extracting mineral resources from the ocean floor, such as precious metals, rare earth elements, and other valuable materials. These methods include remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and specialized drilling equipment that can access deep-sea areas. Technologies focus on minimizing environmental impact, using precise navigation and controlled extraction techniques. Some approaches involve collecting sediments or drilling into vent sites, while others target mineral nodules on the seabed. As ocean resources become more vital for industry and technology, marine mining technologies are evolving to ensure efficient, safe, and sustainable extraction from the challenging deep-sea environment.
