The Canadian company turns to Trump to permission for international water, bypassing a United Nations agency.

San Juan: A Canadian company announced on Tuesday that its US subsidiary submitted applications National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration To mines Caphylore, express displeasure by ignoring a United Nations agency that controls deep International water,
The Metals Company said it was demanding two exploration licenses and a commercial recovery permit, first to mark a company that a company applies commercially to seabed to the mine.
The filing is expected to have a complex legal battle since Jamaica-based International seabed authorityA United Nations agency that controls international deep sea water has the power to authorize the exploitation permit.
The authority said at the end of March, “Any vocational exploitation outside the National Jurisdiction without the ISA Authority will violate international law.”
There are currently no rules to oversee such mining as scientists have warned that extracting minerals from important ecosystems can help regulate climate change, causing permanent damage.
The filing comes less than a week after US President Donald Trump issued an executive order, directing the Commerce Secretary to expedite and expedite reviewing and releasing the commercial recovery permit with other things.
“We are offering a shovel -taiyar route to the United States to the United States to the new and abundant supply of manganese, which are important metals for energy, infrastructure and defense,” said in a statement by the Chairman and CEO, the Chairman of the Jerrad Baron, The Metals Company.

“Unilateral American efforts to engrave the Pacific Ocean have already been facing international opposition,” said Greenpeace international senior preacher Ruth Ramos. “Governments around the world should now take steps to protect international rules and cooperate against the wicked deep sea mining.”
For years, members of the Authority’s council have argued how deep sea mining is allowed and if. So far, the authority has issued only investigative licenses, focused in the Clarian-Cliparton fracture zone with most current discovered activity, covering 1.7 million square miles (4.5 million square kilometers) between Hawaii and Mexico. At least 17 of 31 licenses have been issued for the region, with a discovery of 13,000 to 19,000 feet (4,000 to 6,000 m).

“After continuous delays internationally, the United States now has a clear opportunity to retain the role of its leadership in the deep sea and to establish a global standards for science-based deep-based deep-intelligent resource development,” said Bairon.
At the end of March, the Vancouver-based company announced that it would take permission from the US to start mining in deep seas in international water to extract the electric car batteries and minerals used in others. green technology,
The announcement was made a few hours before meeting the ISA Council on the last day of the two -week conference on focusing on how to allow such mining. Scientists have said that a crowd that takes millions of years to collect minerals, can highlight deep noise, light and dusty dust in the Earth’s oceans.
Mining companies have said that the harvesting of minerals is cheaper than seaflor instead of land and its environmental impact is less.
A spokesperson of the authority did not respond to the message seeking comment immediately.
The authority has said that it has the only legal mandate to regulate mineral activities in the International Cabed. It has been mentioned that the international legal rule established by the United Nations Conference on the law of sea applies to all states, whether they are members or not.
