To meet the booming demand for electric cars, should we start mining the world's largest ocean?

Resource companies and island nations are scouring the Pacific Ocean for vast untapped minerals. Trillions of rocks found on the seabed contain metals that could power electric cars and green energy. The Cook Islands government believes deep-sea mining could contribute to the fight against climate change and end the country’s economic dependence on tourism. But environmentalists say extracting minerals from 5,000 metres (16,400 feet) beneath the ocean’s surface could be catastrophic for fragile marine ecosystems the scientific world knows little about. With deep-sea mining likely to start in 2024, 101 East investigates how it could affect the world’s largest ocean. This documentary was produced in collaboration with SBS Australia and supported by the Sean Dorney Grant for Pacific Journalism through the Walkley Public Fund.  CREDITS: Correspondent: Lucy Murray Director and Senior Producer: Drew Ambrose Field Producer: Melina Etches Cinematography: Lee Ali Picture Editor: Andy Mees Graphics: Keke Marc Robertson Digital Producer: Hasham Cheema Archive: Shella Costales Additional Footage: NIWA, The Metals Company, International Seabed Authority and Moana Minerals Senior Producer: Liz Gooch Production Manager: Susanna Low Supervising Producer: Nick Olle Executive Producer: Sharon Roobol Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter   / ajenglish   Find us on Facebook   / aljazeera   Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page:   / aljazeeraenglish   #pacific #mining #documentary #DeepSeaMining @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News
