Gruvedrift på havbunnen

WWF condemns Norway's deep seabed mining plans as "one of the worst environmental decisions Norway has ever made" as government plans to open ocean area larger than UK to mining https://perma.cc/3AFG-6R92

The Labour-led minority government has proposed to open about 280,000 square km (108,000 square miles) of ocean areas between Jan Mayen Island and the Svalbard archipelago https://perma.cc/LFA9-SFNY

Norway plans to become one of the first countries to open its waters to deep-sea mining in the race for critical mineral sourcing https://perma.cc/8TB7-TGCG

Norway urged to call off deep sea mining plans https://perma.cc/H59A-2PLJ

The government proposes to open parts of the Norwegian continental shelf for commercial seabed mineral activities. In addition, the government presents a strategy demonstrating how Norway aims to be a global leader in a fact- and knowledge-based management of seabed mineral resources. Environmental considerations will be safeguarded throughout the value chain, and extraction will only be permitted if the industry can demonstrate sustainability and responsible practices https://perma.cc/7PGZ-SXAE

Norway wants to begin deep sea mining in the Arctic: Here is why it’s a bad idea https://perma.cc/V2TY-M4ZP

Yet, despite strong criticism from a number of countries, the environmental movement and hundreds of marine scientists warning of the risks of deep sea mining, the Norwegian government proposed in June 2023 opening up a large area in the Arctic for deep sea mining between Greenland and Norway. The area they propose to open for mining is home to vulnerable whales, seabirds, fish and deep sea creatures that are still being discovered. The Norwegian government claims this can be done with an “acceptable degree of environmental impact”, but mining on the seabed cannot be done without harming the deep sea environment, according to warnings from, among others, the UN Environment Programme, the World’s Economic Forum, the International Ocean Panel that Norway leads, the Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet) and the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research (Havforskningsinstituttet).

Gruvedrift på havbunnen: Stor mangel på kunnskap om områdene https://perma.cc/N8JU-N54U

We are already in a climate and nature crisis: deep sea mining is totally unacceptable. Moreover, what happens in the Arctic never stays in the Arctic: this region is the air conditioner of the planet and we desperately need it.

The noise and light pollution from the machines could disturb and impact the wildlife in the sea, even in shallow water. Water conducts sound very well – the noise travels hundreds of kilometers through the water, and can be particularly harmful to marine mammals, such as whales and dolphins.
