With the Storting’s decision, arrangements are now being made for a step-by-step and sound development of seabed minerals, based on a precautionary approach.
This is an important milestone for Norway. The decision to open up seabed mineral exploration and extraction reflects a commitment to sustainable and responsible resource management.
