But companies have long eyed the ocean floor as a potential source of metals like nickel, cobalt, manganese and copper, which are used in batteries for electric vehicles and other technologies.</p><p>"The world has no rulebook for deep-sea mining. One company is pushing forward anyway</p><p>"These metals can be found in potato-sized nodules lying on the ocean floor. Many of the nodules are in the middle of the Pacific ocean, beyond the legal territory of individual countries.</p><p>"Thursday's order might circumvent ongoing international negotiations to regulate deep-sea mining.</p><p>"Those regions have traditionally been overseen by an international organization, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InternationalSeabedAuthority" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InternationalSeabedAuthority</span></a> (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ISA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ISA</span></a>). The ISA has hosted talks for years to try to hammer out a rulebook to govern a potential seabed mining industry. The U.S. did not ratify the treaty that governs the seabed, and is not a voting member of the ISA, though in the past under previous administrations it has respected the ISA process.</p><p>"In his executive order, Trump instructed federal agencies to expedite the process for reviewing and issuing permits for mining on the seafloor in both U.S. and international territory. It will use a U.S. law from 1980, the "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSeabed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeepSeabed</span></a> Hard Mineral Resources Act."</p><p>"Scientists and environmental groups condemned the order, arguing that opening the deep seabed for mining could disrupt important marine ecosystems, and damage the fishing industry.</p><p>" 'This is being planned on some of the least resilient <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> on the planet,' says Douglas McCauley, professor of ocean science at the University of California Santa Barbara.
