Very glad to kick off the MiningImpact project which will study the environmental impacts and risks of #deepseamining Follow MiningImpact for updates and results.

Looking forward to our Public Hearing today: "What are the challenges and impacts of industrial #mining in the #deepsea?" Our scientists and representatives from DEME Group and International Seabed Authority provide some answers today. Join us at @RBINSmuseum. Video will be available afterwards.

#deepseamining will take away all the life of the first 10 cm of the seafloor - and that is where more than 90% of life is living in the deep-sea sediment, states Matthias Haeckel MiningImpact coordinator. GEOMAR_en GEOMAR

On average, we only have one sample/45,000 km2 of the #deepsea. We need more research and Europe has the capacity to conduct this - Sandor Mulsow International Seabed Authority MiningImpact
