Tech Glitch Delays Deep Sea Mining Comments by Four Days
Published Date: 4/7/2026
Notice
Summary
NOAA got two companies asking to explore deep seabed mining and opened a public comment period that was supposed to end May 22, 2026. Because of a tech glitch that made the applications unavailable for a day, they’re giving everyone extra time until May 26, 2026, to share their thoughts. This affects anyone interested in ocean mining and ensures the public gets a fair chance to weigh in before any money or mining moves forward.
