Advantages: the extraction will help us see the processes behind the formation and content of the ocean floor.

Challenges: The International Seabed Authority stated that not all countries may participate in extracting manganese nodules from the ocean floor.

The manganese nodules are at depths of 3.6-4.5 km, so, their extraction requires serious financial investments and will impact the environment in the area where the extraction will occur.
