In a world driven by technology and a relentless quest for resources, the deep ocean has become the final frontier for resource extraction. But with it comes a deep, unanswered question: at what cost?
This book takes you on an eye-opening journey into one of the most controversial and urgent global issues of our time. With Nauru-the world's smallest island nation-at the heart of the modern-day gold rush beneath the ocean, this book uncovers the hidden truths about deep-sea mining, environmental destruction, and the ethical dilemmas facing both the planet and its inhabitants.
What happens when a nation, desperate to revive its economy, stakes everything on the vast treasures lying on the ocean floor? Nauru, once one of the richest countries per capita, now finds itself turning to the deep sea for salvation. But as they prepare to mine precious metals to fuel the green energy revolution, they face a decision with far-reaching consequences-for their future, for the ocean, and for us all.
