The current contribution of marine mineral resources to the global economy is significant, and recent scientific discoveries suggest that the potential contribution could be even greater. This study outlines the legal framework for these resouces. It then examines the scientific aspects, including sources and environmental considerations of their exploitation. The economic and technological perspectives are then surveyed, focussing on integration of science and economics in marine mineral development, and resources of the continental shelf and the deep sea.
