At Impossible Metals, our dedication to transparency meets science head-on in the newly launched FAQ section titled “Mythbusting False & Misleading Statements About Deep Sea Mining (DSM).” This resource tackles persistent misconceptions that have circulated in media and advocacy circles with refreshing clarity and evidence-backed responses.
By addressing key myths, such as “We know almost nothing about the seabed,” or “DSM will irreversibly harm marine ecosystems”, we share complex data and regulatory context that paint a clearer picture. One myth, for example, frames deep-sea habitats as a massive carbon reservoir; in reality, polymetallic nodules and abyssal sediments contain minimal organic carbon, and selective harvesting disturbs only shallow surface sediment with no impact on phytoplankton or the carbon cycle.
Through this section, readers can explore how the Impossible Metals Eureka Collection System avoids sediment plumes, how Environmental Impact Assessments are conducted, and why current data about the ocean floor is far richer than often assumed. It’s a call for policy grounded in evidence, not rhetoric, and an invitation to engage constructively with scientific critique.
Explore the details behind each myth to help transform public discourse on deep sea mining into a fact-based, nuanced conversation.
