Ocean Floor Mining is Coming
- "The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea states that the deep-sea minerals found within a nation’s marine boundaries — 200 miles beyond their physical borders — belong to that nation. Beyond that, waters fall under International Seabed Authority (ISA) and mining requires permission from the International Seabed Authority, with any discoveries therein deemed the “common heritage of mankind.”" - excerpts from article at weather.com.
