Our modern way of life is largely dependent on land-based mining to extract the minerals and other raw materials required for construction, and for components in many technologies. Some suggest we may not have enough of these materials to see us through the transition away from fossil fuels and that we now need to go down to the deep ocean to extract even more. Others argue that, as we have only discovered less than 0.001% of the biodiversity at those depths, mining down there might not be such a smart idea!
