This book is a sequel to 'Deep-Sea Mining: Resource Potential,
Technical and Environmental Considerations' (2017) and
'Environmental Issues of Deep-Sea Mining: Impacts, Consequences and
Policy Perspectives' (2019), and aims to provide a comprehensive
volume on different perspectives of deep-sea mining from
specialists around the world. The work is timely, as deep-sea
minerals continue to enthuse researchers involved in activities
such as ascertaining their potential as alternative sources for
critical metals for green energy and other industrial applications,
as well as technology development for their sustainable exploration
and exploitation, while addressing environmental concerns. With a
steady increase in the number of contractors having exclusive
rights over large tracts of seafloor in the 'Area', i.e. area
beyond national jurisdictions, the International Seabed Authority,
mandated with the responsibility of regulating such activities, is
in the process of developing a code for exploitation of deep-sea
minerals. These, coupled with growing interest among private
entrepreneurs, investment companies and policy makers, underscore
the need for updated information to be made available in one place
on the subject of deep-sea mining. The book evaluates the potential
and sustainability of mining for deep-sea minerals compared to
other land-based deposits, the technologies needed for mining and
processing of ores, the approach towards environmental monitoring
and management, as well as the regulatory frameworks and legal
challenges to manage deep-sea mining activities. The book is
expected to serve as an important reference for all stakeholders
including researchers, contractors, mining companies, regulators
and NGOs involved in deep-sea mining.
