Abstract

Deep-seabed mining (DSM) is an emerging marine industry that presents particularly complex challenges due to its multi-faceted political, economic, technological, scientific, environmental, social, industrial and legal aspects, all of which must be addressed to achieve commercially viable results. Furthermore, these aspects are either governed by or must take into account the burgeoning regulatory regime promulgated by the International Seabed Authority under the auspices of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which also governs regional and national DSM regimes. This chapter briefly reviews the international DSM management regime and identifies innovative approaches to these myriad challenges that may also assist in informing the responsible development of other new deep-sea industries.
