Per @afpfr.bsky.social, New Zealand's resource minister says the country is considering withdrawing support for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. “Seabed mining has become the last green trophy, so people are tossing around the most absurd, untested theories." www.france24.com/en/live-news...

Good new article by Mining Magazine noting how "[a] Republican-controlled administration...seems to be on the side of harnessing seabed minerals. Trump's trade policies and tariff-heavy approach could also make deep-sea mining even more attractive as a domestic supply alternative." t.co/Fu56s9KLRB

In a new op-ed, TMC CFO Craig Shesky says the disconnect between myth and reality of nodule collection is creating a generational opportunity for investors willing to look closer, with potential near-term catalysts coming from changing political landscape in D.C. theoregongroup.com/energy-trans...

Great to join other deep-sea contractors and leaders from within the U.S. government at @thewilsoncenter.bsky.social for a timely discussion on technology and innovation in nodule collection and processing, for which the West currently enjoys a hard-earned - but narrowing - lead.
