Blue Peril: A technical note
In 2020, DSMC produced a significant report, Predicting the impacts of mining of deep sea polymetallic nodules in the Pacific Ocean: A review of Scientific literature. Building on this report and Why the Rush for Deep Sea Mining, DSMC collaborated with INTERPRT andOzeanien-Dialog to produce Blue Peril in 2022, a 16-minute visual investigation that presents a scientifically robust and disturbing picture of the far-reaching impacts of DSM for Pacific Island communities.
Translated into eight languages Blue Peril worked with Austides Australia Consulting, Dr. John Luick to create the oceanographic modelling and analysis and a technical note Blue Peril: Oceanographic Modelling of Benthic and Midwater Plumes predicted for Deep Sea Mining planned by The Metals Company in the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean.
