Stirring up a bit of muck on the ocean floor could have a beneficial effect on climate change. ie fertilize the little buggers and they will utilize more CO2. Takes it out of the atmosphere, ultimately.

Isn't dredging the seafloor what the fishing industry does, calling it trawling, over a hugely greater area and no one says anything.

Yes exactly. The fish industry unbelievably has dispensations galore when it come to throwing muck overboard. Why else do people like Talleys pay people like Shane Jones thousands to smooze politicians and bureaucrats to enrich themselves.?
Talleys were one of the parties objecting to TTRs plans. Kind of pathetic really. A polluter and a scavenger (Talleys) trying to stop an industry that will produce a commodity that they (Fishers) need to operate. VIZ Steel to make their damn boats.

Ban trawling. It does huge damage. Would be hugely in excess of that done in a small patch of sea floor mining.

TTR abandons seabed mining application
Couldn’t prove they wouldn’t cause any harm so walked away
Good news

I think you will find they are skirting process and will apply directly to the Government for fast tracking. This will be a test to see if the fast track process will be handled responsibly.
If this gets approved it will be an absolute disgrace.
There is no way that a similar process would be allowed on land, but as it's hidden underwater, nothing to see here.
It's a minefield for Shane Jones, pitting one vested interest party vs another.
Hopefully you find my posts helpful, but in no way should they be construed as advice. Make your own decision.

Jones has recused himself. Bishop and Brown will handle this. NZ, after six years of GRANTS (pun intended), will find this $500 Billion dollar ready to go project, rather handy. The IMF would certainly agree. There is a good precedent to grant unpopular large projects. Clyde comes to mind, and I don't hear any bodies moaning about the pretty cycle ways around Lake Dunstan that became a bi product.
