• Ocean water is the world's largest continuous supply of minerals. Every natural mineral and trace element known to man exists in the world's ocean water.
• The deep sea is generally defined as waters below 200 metres.
• Prospectors are increasingly surveying the
  seabed for metals such as copper, zinc and gold
• There are opportunities of Mining for seabed minerals and collecting marine organisms for pharmaceutical and industrial applications (bioprospecting).
• There is also the possibility of future CO2 storage in the deep seabed
• Deep-sea microbes are used as a source for industrial biocatalysts (to speed up certain processes), biopharmaceuticals and antimicrobials
• Bioprospecting is the harvesting of living resources, including plants, animals and microbes, for commercial gain.
• World sales of all marine biotechnology-related products in the year 2000 were estimated at US$100bn.
• This is a growing area, with more than 37 patents registered in the USA and Europe
• Seabed massive sulphides  lie at extinct hydrothermal vents and contain copper, gold, zinc and other metals
• The marine microorganisms, seaweeds,
  soft corals, fungus, sponges, bryozoans,
  tunicates, annelids, holothurians, molluscs,
  echinoderms have all been reported to be
  a source of bioactive molecules - acetogenins, polyketides, terpenes, alkaloids, peptides and many compounds of mixed biosynthesis
• International marine legislation was created before many economic opportunities in the deep sea were feasible
• There is a legal framework for deep seabed mining in international waters through the International Seabed Authority
