What is your reaction when hearing that? My first impression was associated with drag net fishing, wreaking havoc to the ecosystems below. And Greenpeace is actively protesting their operation with dangerous intercepts of operations at sea. Is that the whole story then?
What if deep seabed mining of nickel and cobalt was the most environmentally benign alternative on Earth? That would flip my thinking entirely. Well, the alternative is strip mining in the rainforests of Indonesia and Congo, causing massive deforestation and devastation in some of the most valuable ecosystems.
How does that compare to Deep Seabed mining? Well, itās deep, really deep, in the Abyssal Plain (12-18K ft. down). These Plains are not rare; they cover 50% of the Earthās surface. And itās unlike āminingā in the traditional sense. The metallic nodules are sitting on the surface, easily collected by robotic rovers. The smooth plains of silt are stirred up by this collection process, but to no obvious detriment to the main biomass that lives there ā bacteria. Ongoing studies may find that they are helped by the agitation, giving more access to their nutrients. And the ecological value of microbe-infused silt is the opposite end of the spectrum from rainforest or coral reef.
The groups seeking permission from the International Seabed Authority to commence operations had to perform numerous studies of their effect on bacteria. Let me digress for a moment to mention how absurd this is. Every 48 hours, 50% of all bacteria on Earth are violently killed by phages. The shear tonnage of the slaughter is staggering: 17 billion tons of bacteria are killed by phage every single day. Thatās the baseline. Deep Seabed Miningās effect on a patch of them, positive or negative, is in the statistical noise by any reasoned analysis. Bacteria adapt quickly to any environment; they should not be the focus of any environmental impact analysis IMHO.
And thereās the rub. Opposition is pushing to try to prevent deep seabed mining by any means possible, reasoned or not. The logical error is the assumption that blocking deep seabed mining will stop mining. That will not happen, ever. Mining will shift to the next lowest cost option (deforesting Indonesia). Itās A versus B, not A versus nothing. Mining will occur, somewhere. How tragic for environmentalists to attack the best option and thereby foster the worst environmental outcomes for humanity. And the harm to the environment is compounded because the minerals in question are used to complete the transition away from oil to EVs. If Greenpeace wanted to promote deforestation and profits for Exxon, they would be hard pressed to find a better way. And, stepping back to consider the ocean's health, the biggest threat to the oceans is climate change and the related acidification that came from our fossil fuel era.
Where have we seen this backfiring behavior before? Nuclear energy. It was nuclear vs coal for the past 60 years, not nuclear vs nothing. Baseload energy will be generated, and environmental fear mongering shut down the best option for the environment back then. Lifelong environmentalist Stewart Brand summarized in his book Whole Earth Discipline: "Coal is now understood to be the long-term systemic horror we once thought nuclear was.ā Nuclear was so safe that the nuclear fear mongering did more harm than nuclear energy itself! āFear of radiation is a far more important health threat than radiation itself.ā From the WHO analysis of Chernobyl and its long-term effects, stress from the human dialog on nuclear energy has killed more people than nuclear energy.
Same story with GMO foods, as Brand laments: āThe environmental movement has done more harm with its opposition to genetic engineering than with any other thing we have been wrong about. Weāve starved people, hindered science, hurt the natural environment, and denied our own practitioners a crucial tool. We make ourselves look a conspicuously irrational, and we teach that irrationality to the public and to decision makers.ā
Must history keep repeating itself with a tragic backfiring of environmental intent? Greenpeaceās position is āno deep sea mining, everā with no consideration given to the default plan B. Classic A vs nothing thinking. The International Seabed Authority is preparing to process its first applications in 2025. I would hope Greenpeace would pause for a moment of rational consideration to not repeat the mega-mistakes of the past which fostered deforestation and climate change on a massive scale.
ā¢ Here is the closest I have seen to an impartial consideration of arguments for an against... with even ocean-obsessed James Cameron calling it a āless wrongā alternative to conventional land-based mining.

Coal mining near Birmingham, Alabama. Not a great shot, but just strange to be that far underground looking at a vehicle to drive you deeper underground.

Three mining barges are busily cutting up ice asteroid, while a destroyer class ship (a gallentean Catalyst) is standing guard against NPC pirate ships which pop up once in a while in this asteroid belt.
Ice refining products are used in operating POS, Player Owned Structures/Starbases, and to move Capital class ships equipped with jump drive, such as dreadnoughts, carriers, motherships and titans. At the time of that screenshot, though, no capital ships were available in game yet.
Ethereum is the second largest cryptocurrency in the world and works using mining. GIVE ATTRIBUTION TO: BeatingBetting.co.uk

This area was a high mining area and while I was taking photo's of this ladder I spotted this area all fenced off - it would be easy to get to it any way for the it's location.
Stawell.
Like nearby Ararat Stawell began with a pastoral era (Concongella Station) and then things changed when a little gold was discovered in a creek at Stawell, Pleasant Creek. That was in 1853. More reef gold was discovered nearby in 1856 followed by a large alluvial find in 1857. This was the Illawarra and Deep Lead finds which started a major gold rush to the district. Consequentially the town of Stawell (named after the Chief Justice of Victoria) was proclaimed in 1858 around the original Pleasant Creek find of 1853 whilst commercial activity continued at the new Camp area on the hill. The good gold finds petered out in 1869 but some mining continued for many years. Like other mining centres lawlessness was a problem and so one of the first buildings erected in the new government town was a Courthouse and gaol in 1860. (This was replaced by a grander Courthouse erected in 1880 and it still stands.) As always other early buildings were the hotels to assuage the thirst of the miners. Other important public buildings in the old Adelaide Road area of Stawell are the Shire Offices built in 1866 and 1873; the old Courthouse mentioned above; the Police Residence built in 1869; and the two storey Institute erected in 1868. Uptown on the hill is the current town centre with most other major historic structures. They include: the railway station and stationmasterās residence 1876; the old cricket grounds of the 1860s which is now the location of the Easter Stawell Gift Race and the Hall of Fame; the memorial gates to the oval were installed in 1903; the purpose built Memorial to Australian Federation erected in 1903; Oban House built in the Federation Era in red brick in 1898 ā now the Returned Services League; St. Matthews Uniting Church 1869 (built at Presbyterian); St. Peterās Lutheran 1874 ( built as Congregational); the Powder Magazine built in 1875; the impressive Post Office built in 1875; the Town hall opened in 1873- make sure you see the clock and tower with the animated miners who were added in 1969; and the Town Hall Hotel built in 1874.

2.Sluicing: A sluice box is more commonly used by small scale mining companies. In this process, a sluice box is used to haul out gold from various deposits in currents. It is basically a man-made channel with riffles at the bottom, these riffles act as a dead zone which makes the gold drop from its state of suspension. A current then carries the denser materials to one direction as the rest of the tailing is left behind.

Mining companies pay national and local taxes, but because the local population does not see the benefits, companies have started making direct contributions to local communities.
GHH mining machine underground shovel, when they were introduced in the Monteponi mine, helped to make the work lighter and faster. He wouldn't mind seeing it displayed in a protected area and not exposed to the elements. A machine created to work indoors that ends its "career" outdoors. The most interesting part are the reinforcements made by hand welding along the entire profile of the blade of the shovel. Although not a certainly functional artistic work; this is proof of the mastery and skills that the staff had acquired in working in a mine like this.
Pala da sottosuolo GHH mining machine, quando vennero introdotte nella miniera di Monteponi aiutarono a rendere il lavoro piĆ¹ leggero e veloce. Non sabbe male vederla esposta in una zona protetta e non esposta alle intemperie. Una macchina che nasce per lavorare al chiuso che finisce al sua "carriera" all'aria aperta. La parte piĆ¹ interessante sono i rinforzi realizzati con saldatura a mano lungo tutto il profilo della lama della pala. Seppure non un lavoro artistico sicuramente funzionale; questo a riprova della maestria e delle competenze che il personale aveva acquisito nel lavorare in una miniera come questa.
Mining companies often lack local field offices with the capacity to answer questions from local residents and to make operational decisions.
