International Seabed Authority is negotiating a "mining code" for seabed resources in international waters.

Greenpeace has warned for years of the risks posed by deep-sea mining to the oceans' unique, but only partly understood, ecosystems.

Since July 2023 , any country can apply for a mining contract in the name of a company it sponsors.

Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. hopes to be the first to benefit from this by mining polymetallic nodules in the Pacific as soon as 2026 .
