Episode Details

The U.S. is poised to launch a new deep-sea mining industry, with companies vying for access to valuable minerals on the ocean floor. This move could make the U.S. the first country to allow commercial seabed mining in international waters. The push for deep-sea mining gained traction under President Trump, who saw these minerals as vital for Americas future. However, concerns about the financial viability and environmental impact of this industry remain, as the deep ocean is still largely unexplored. Regulatory bodies are working to streamline processes, and the first lease sale could happen as soon as August.
