💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to expedite deep-sea mining for ores and minerals, prompting concern from environmental groups. They argue that it could harm marine ecosystems, fisheries, and oceans' ability to store carbon dioxide. The order directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to fast-track permits for companies to mine the ocean floor in U.S. and international waters.
