Deep sea mining can be defined as: “mineral exploitation in the deep sea. The mining for mineral resources and the disposal of waste materials are the major potential sources of environmental hazard for the deep-sea system. Polymetallic nodules, manganese crusts, metalliferous sulphidic muds and massive consolidated sulphides might serve as exploitable sources of various metals, whilst phosporite deposits represent a further resource” [1]
