- Mapping the Seafloor | U.S. Geological Survey - USGS.govThe seafloor has distinct features and characteristics that help us better understand Earth’s current and past conditions, potential resources, and natural hazards. However, less than 10% of the seafloor has been mapped globally. The USGS conducts high-resolution mapping to describe the physical features of the ocean floor, as well as the geologic layers and structure beneath it.
- What is seabed mining, and why does it threaten the ocean?Seabed mining is a method of extracting metals and minerals from the seafloor. It’s used to describe both deep sea, and shallower mining techniques, although the former tends to be referred to as Deep Sea Mining (DSM). Seabed mining is similar to techniques that have been used for extracting sand to make concrete or to replenish public beaches.
