Will Deep Sea Mining Destroy our Oceans? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

An urgent meeting is taking place in Jamaica to determine the future of deep sea mining. The ocean floor has an abundance of rare metals, but it is also a fragile ecosystem. Some countries want to begin mining the ocean floors despite potential risks to the environment.

A UN body has been tasked to come up with deep sea mining regulations after the country of Nauru put in a formal request to mine the oceans. But critics of the plan are asking for a moratorium on deep sea mining. Palki Sharma explains why.

  2. No mention of China's fake islands built near vast undersea rare earth deposits?
