      abstract = {This book is a sequel to Deep-sea mining: resource  potential, technical and environmental considerations  (2017) and environmental issues of deep-sea mining:  impacts, consequences and policy perspectives (2019), and  aims to provide a comprehensive volume on the evolution of  different aspects and perspectives of deep-sea mining from  specialists around the world. The work is timely, as  deep-sea minerals continue to enthuse researchers involved  in activities such as ascertaining their potential as  alternative sources for critical metals for green energy  and other industrial applications, as well as technology  development for their sustainable exploration and  exploitation while addressing environmental concerns. With  a steady increase in the number of contractors having  exclusive rights over large tracts on the seafloor in the  real i.e. regions beyond national jurisdictions, the  International Seabed Authority is mandated with the  responsibility of regulating such activities, and is in the  process of developing a code for exploitation of deep-sea  minerals. These coupled with growing interest among private  entrepreneurs, investment companies and policy makers  underlines the need for updated information to be made  available in one place on the subject of deep-sea mining.  The book evaluates the potential and sustainability of  mining for deep-sea minerals compared to other land-based  deposits, the technologies needed for mining, and  processing of ores, approach towards environmental  monitoring and management, as well as the regulatory  frameworks and legal challenges to manage deep-sea mining  activities. The book is expected to serve as an important  reference for all stake holders including researchers,  contractors, mining companies, regulators and NGOs involved  in deep-sea mining. .},
