Q: How do you minimize environmental impact compared to traditional dredging?

Inside Impossible Metals and the Push for Responsible Deep-Sea Mining
Q: What are the three areas you broke the problem into from first principles?
We broke it into how to physically get the modules off the seabed, how to lift and move them to the surface and onto the ship, and finally how to transfer them from the ship to shore for processing, then we iterated on the solutions with environmental and economic scoring.
