The United States is preparing to auction leases for seabed mining blocks within its federal waters. This initiative is the subject of a two-part series exploring the nation’s push into deep-sea mining.
Part one of the series focuses on the procedures involved in the proposed lease sales in U.S. federal waters. It also delves into the various reactions and responses to these plans. The second part, anticipated to be published shortly, will provide an examination of the regulatory framework that is intended to govern this emerging industry.
