TMC the metals company provided an update on the environment program of its NORI subsidiary, including a detailed overview of the latest research on the potential impacts of sediment plumes at the seafloor based upon emerging data from NORI’s 2022 pilot nodule collection system test. Contrary to plume models created by NGOs that were widely publicized in the media, NORI’s preliminary benthic plume data and modelling show that sediment mobilized by its nodule collector vehicle at depths of approximately 4 kilometers forms a gravity-driven turbidity current that hugs the contours of the seafloor and does not loft up into the water column where it could possibly be transported longer distances by ocean currents.
