TMC subsidiaries submitted data from deep-sea exploration to DeepData

TMC the metals company (TMC) announced that its subsidiaries, Nauru Ocean Resources, NORI, and Tonga Offshore Mining, have submitted comprehensive data from almost a decade of deep-sea exploration to DeepData. TMC Environmental Manager, Dr. Michael Clarke, commented: “After more than a decade of research, 27 expeditions, rigorously monitored pilot mining tests, tens of thousands of biological records, and hundreds of thousands of seafloor images, we’ve built one of the most comprehensive deep-sea environmental datasets ever assembled. Backed by over $250 million in investment, our findings don’t stand in isolation-they corroborate decades of prior research, including NOAA’s DOMES program,” he said, referring to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Deep Ocean Mining Environmental Study program conducted in the 1970s
