ABSTRACT
As the demand for essential minerals rises worldwide, deep-sea mining becomes a viable way to address resource constraints. However, there are serious ethical, legal, and environmental issues with the way this young business is being governed. This study examines the legal frameworks that now control deep-sea mining, points out any weaknesses, and makes suggestions for a stronger and more just system of governance. The report emphasizes the need for flexible legislative frameworks that put environmental preservation and fair resource sharing first by drawing comparisons with the oil and gas industry and terrestrial mining.
