Marine Mining

Tuesday, 5 May
Room 600
Technical Session
This session explores the need and opportunities for developing the vast mineral resources of the deep sea for rare earth other critical elements . This coming industry is posed to develop new mining equipment , create new regulatory environments and create new environmental challenges for the deep sea . This session is ideal for those concerned about this new technological opportunity or those concerned about the growing industrialization of the oceans.
