There’s a lot more to deep-sea mining than just the pure facts. It’s more than just minerals and the effects can be far beyond any financial or biophysical loss or gains. In this week’s episode, we talk with Danielle Nembhard and Esther Figueroa about the livelihood and the more-than-human impacts of deep-sea mining.
