Something has to be done to prevent this proposed deep sea mining within our seas. Does anyone know anything latest regarding this? At this current point in time, how far advanced is Nautilus Minerals on the exploration works?

There is a real possibility that seabed mining could cause a massive impact where the mining actually occurs and where the sand is redeposited on the seabed. Another possinility is that this will disrupt the natural replacement of sand and worsen erosion along the picturesque coastlines of ENBP.

No scientist need to explain this – it is common sense that the seabed mining would remove some of the sand that would otherwise be part of that beach system as a consequence there is a potential for the coast to erode, and natural erosion of the wonderful NG Islands coastline will be made worse.

No one in this world fully understands the potential side effects of such mining activity, not even the best environmentalists/oceanographers – they can only predict but what they will confirm is that “for any resource projects land/sea, there will be a degree of damage to natural ocean system/environment.

This has to be PREVENTED at all costs for the sake of the future generations.
