Deep sea prospecting

Gold, buried deep in the sea bed off the West Coast will stay where it is, because it's too difficult to mine this report says.
Kevin Hague says, good, mining the sea floor in the way Seafield Resources   proposed is destructive.
""This sea-bottom mining is incredibly environmentally damaging, but the fact that people can't directly see its effects means there's less protest against it."
I am, unsurprisingly, with Kevin on this. An intact sea floor has more value to me  than another extractive industry that ruins the environment it operates in, gold or no gold.
Tony Kockshorn, the Coast's champion of rip-shit-and-bust will be ropeable, but then he always was.
