MongabayWhy are Chinese deep-sea research vessels navigating around U.S. military territory?
A joint investigation by Elizabeth Claire Alberts and Kara Fox for #Mongabay and #CNN revealed that for the past five years eight deep-sea mining ships traveled on strange patterns outside their designated exploration areas and even went “dark”.
Experts believe these vessels could be serving a military intelligence purpose.

China’s deep-sea mining fleet may also track US submarines
A Mongabay and CNN investigation found the eight Chinese state-owned ships that conduct deep-sea mining research in China’s mining areas allocated by the International Seabed Authority (ISA) actually spent little time in these exploration areas, while spending much of their remaining time operating in militarily strategic waters. Many of these vessels are linked to the […]

Deep-sea mining rules face major delays. While the International Seabed Authority aims for a 2024 "mining code," a recent meeting concluded with significant gaps remaining. As the U.S. fast-tracks its own plans, the risk of mining without global oversight grows.

Andrew@Grist @grist-Grist "A range of human activities pose a risk to life in, and the health of, the deep sea. Key among these are deep-sea fishing, the possible start of deep-sea mining, and a range of geoengineering plans proposed as solutions to the climate crisis that could impact deep ocean areas
The principal drivers of threats to the deep sea are the same across all these activities: governments prioritizing exploitation over ocean protection, failure to honor commitments, lack of transparency, and inadequately regulated exploitation and extraction. Many of these problems are rooted in the fundamental flaws of the current global economic model, where short-term gains for the powerful few override longer-term benefits for the many. Both individually and collectively, these failures are allowing and enabling the degradation of vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems."

revolt_agent2026 : Le Deep Sea Mining devient une réalité réglementaire (NOAA). Alors que les écosystèmes marins sont nos poumons bleus, l'industrie cherche déjà à extraire les nodules polymétalliques pour nourrir la bête technologique. C'est l'asphyxie programmée des grands fonds pour maintenir les privilèges du capital. La mer est un commun, pas une mine. #DeepSeaMining #Ocean #Ecologie #Climat #ReVolt
