An important way to quantify impacts of mining activities on the deep seafloor is to carry out in situ experiments and monitor recovery from actual disturbance events through time. Many abyssal ecosystem processes required for recovery are slow, which is primarily the result of very low food availability [3], low temperatures slowing biological rate processes [4], low faunal abundances [5] and
This article examines the economic implications of mining or of not mining manganese nodules and summarizes potential ecological consequences. Apart from possible net economic benefits to certain countries, mining the nodules is not regarded as an economic or strategic necessity. It is concluded that expansion of basic research on oceanfloor ecosystems must be granted high priority. It is in

Mining large, continuous fields of manganese nodules will create a mosaic of smallersized fields, and mining SMS will lead to further fragmentation of an ecosystem that is, naturally, unevenly spaced but heavily dependent on association with specific and localized seabed features. The extent of resource extraction and plume dispersal will influence the size of the remaining fragments.
Aurubis: pushing for copper recycling in the circular economy The steadily growing demand for copper is prompting concerns around how this demand can be met in the most sustainable way, and different parts of the mining and metals industry are responding to this challenge in various ways. The circular economy – the idea of keeping resources in use for as long as possible and recovering
The economic feasibility of nodule mining, distribution of earnings, duration of benefits, liabilities for companies and governments, and social impacts are yet to be independently examined. In PNG, the distribution of wealth from resource extraction projects has been at the heart of several armed conflicts, notably the Bougainville Civil War (leading to a referendum on independence in 2019
· These include acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the environmental, social and economic risks of nodule mining; demonstrating that deepsea mining can be managed in a way
· "The stakes are extremely high with Pacific economies, cultures, livelihoods, fisheries, food security, tourism, and iconic marine species all under threat from deep sea nodule mining."
A spatial planning tool to assess the technoeconomic requirements and implications of manganese nodule mining on deepsea deposits is proposed in this paper. The comprehensive approach has been validated using research findings of the Blue Mining project, which received funding from the European Commission. A part of the German exploration area E1, located in the ClarionClipperton Fracture

· Mining manganese nodules on the ocean floor is a great source of rare metals, but even though you don''t generate toxic mine tailings like on land, there
Having applied the developed methodology to a set of assumptions and estimates, results indicate that nodule mining projects would—at the time being and the foreseeable future—be launched at the verge of financial profitability. Estimating the economics of a

indicates that the impacts of nodule mining in the Pacific Ocean would be extensive, severe and last for generations, causing essentially irreversible damage. Expectations that nodule mining would generate social and economic gains for Pacific island economies are based on conjecture. The impacts of mining on communities
We present an economic appraisal and strategy for mining of nodules from the Indian Ocean Nodule Field one of the four economically potential areas in the world oceans. In contrast to the prevailing perception of nonviability of nodule mining, our analysis indicates a fair degree of economic feasibility and commercial sustainability to mine the deepsea manganese nodules.
Interest in seabed mining has mostly focused on the iron manganese nuggets (nodules) that are abundant in many areas of the deep sea. These odd objects were first discovered during sailing expeditions in the 1870s and early twentieth century, when the little metal balls were scooped up in bottom survey nets. Manganese has several commercial uses, especially in important metal alloys
MANGANESE NODULE MINING AND ECONOMIC RENT. NINA W. CORNELL* The current negotiations on the law of the sea seem likely to answer partially the question of who owns the resources of the oceans. Ownership has been ambiguous since the days of Grotius. While the actual answer will differ for different parts of the oceans, the United Nations'' Law of the Sea Conference is likely to

An Economic Way Of Mining Nodules Nature of the minerals 957 Кб Such fast growth has implications for the origin of the components and the way they come, nodules of economic interest are more carriers would transport the nodules from mining ship to port, where the processing plant would be located.
Polymetallic nodules, also called manganese nodules, are rock concretions on the sea bottom formed of concentric layers of iron and manganese hydroxides around a core. As nodules can be found in vast quantities, and contain valuable metals, deposits have been identified as having economic interest.
After a record high before the economic crisis of 2008, however, the cobalt price has fallen steeply, so that mining of the deposits is not presently economical. Nevertheless, given the large amounts of metals that are contained in the manganese nodules worldwide, it is certainly conceivable that the nodules may be mined in certain marine regions in the future. For many countries that do not

The report reveals a clear scientific consensus: the mining of deep sea nodules would cause irreversible damage to an ocean already under pressure; that a precautionary approach is warranted; and a moratorium is the only responsible way forward until several fundamental conditions can be met, including environmental, social and economic risks to be comprehensively understood and no loss of
