As member states of the International Seabed Authority debate this week whether deep sea mining should be go forward, I’m re-upping my April 2022 LA Times investigation of the ISA and its conflicts of interest with the seabed mining companies it regulates. latimes.com/politics/story/2…

Learning about deep sea mining took me to both the Pacific Ocean and to the Caribbean, visiting an offshore exploration ship & the HQ of International Seabed Authority in Jamaica. And months of work. Thanks NYT subscribers for supporting this effort. nytimes.com/2022/08/29/insid…

[New Paper] @ISMEJournal show that the hot vent Scaly-foot Snail likely uses both maternal transmission + environmental aquisition for its endosymbionts! Also, the snail buffers symbionts from environmental variability across different vents.

Costa Rica's delegate to the International Seabed Authority, @gina31854903, is telling the ISA Council that deep sea mining should be postponed due to the lack of scientific knowledge of the ocean ecosystems targeted for exploitation. @ISBAHQ #deepseamining

Still on @BloombergNEF's battery metals outlook. Our historical cobalt demand outlook has declined y-o-y in line with industry demand due to chemistry switch to LFP and others. The drivers are the record prices in 2018 and ethics. Will other metals see such demand response soon?

My latest: As the International Seabed Authority meets to draft regulations to allow deep sea mining to begin as soon as 2024, member nations are calling for a moratorium. Costa Rica’s delegate: “Member states might also decide they don’t want to mine.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

At the International Seabed Authority, member states object to allowing mining companies to monitor the environmental impact of mining the deep sea. The Pope's rep urges "avoiding any form of conflict of interest & profit of individual parties at the expense of others." #ISA27
