Deep-sea mining: solution or environmental disaster? | Ocean Calls Podcast EP3
The promise of deep-sea mining is to deliver the rare metals we need for the green energy revolution but it may cause pristine and largely unexplored habitats to be depleted and damaged forever. In this episode, Euronews science reporter Jeremy Wilks discusses the topic of deep-sea mining, an emerging industry that is dividing scientists, governments and industry. His guests are Renee Grogan, the Director of Sustainability at Impossible Mining, and deep-sea habitat specialist Dr Pedro Ribeiro. WWF expert Jessica Battle also gives her insight on this hotly-debated sector. And ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano recounts the moment he came eye to eye with his favourite marine animal. 🔊 Listen to all episodes on your favourite podcast app: https://linktr.ee/oceancalls Hosted by Jeremy Wilks.
