The deep ocean covers more than 60% of the planet with biodiversity that is equal to our tropical rainforests.

Today concentrations of minerals formed across the deep seabed are holding the attention of both researchers and the mining industry as a potential resource for smart and ‘green’ technologies. This year a question that has been debated for decades has reached a legal precipice: should we mine the seabed?

Whether you are interested in art, the environment, climate change, the imaginative space of the ocean, or would just like to learn more about this rarely explored topic, you are warmly invited to join us for this very special event.
