Resumo(s)
Although the deep sea accounts for around 95% of the global biosphere, it is the least scientifically known habitat on the planet. Valuable minerals to the energy transition lie in it, while environmental impacts of extracting them still remain inconclusive. Portugal has demonstrated contrasting interests with regard to deep sea mining. This interdisciplinary case study breaks down the conundrum of deep sea mining to a lay audience on the topic, exposing students to the problem’s complexity. It aims to support sustainable decision making on the subject and prepare future decision-makers to highly challenging political scenarios.
