Norway’s parliament has approved a plan to allow deep sea mining off its coast

Norway’s parliament has officially voted to allow deep-sea mining to go forward in the Norwegian Sea, despite warnings from scientists and conservationists that it could damage the marine environment. This result was already anticipated in December 2023 after Norway’s minority government negotiated a deal with opposition parties to open up the ocean off Norway’s coast to deep-sea mining.

Walter Sognnes , the CEO of Loke Marine Minerals, joins Al Jazeera live from Stavanger.
