In my Science class we had a table discussion about ocean minerals. My thoughts while doing this had not been changed at all. That is because we all had the same or very similar answers. I think right once we started doing the discussions it was a bit rough but once we got into it a bit more.
Here is they summery we wrote at the end of each question.
Why are these minerals so valuable?
We think that the reason minerals are valuable is because they have many uses, and they are hard to get
to and require a lot of money to get to, and we do not know who owns the minerals
Who should have the right to receive them or the profits?
We think that whoever gets them should have the power them, but should barging with other countries
that are poor and cannot afford t mine in the trade for the Oceans minerals. Also that the Ocean does
not belong to anyone, but for example maybe Cleveland want some minerals, and it is a landlocked state
so it gets permits from California to mine in the ocean that borders it. That country has money so they
do not have to make deals, but maybe Iran is poor and is landlocked so they can make a deal with a
country that borders an ocean and in return give them oil, because they are rich in oil.
What are the problems with mining in the Ocean?
Mining for minerals is deep and it costs a lot of money to get down there and if you get down there,
there may not be minerals and then you would have wasted a lot of money and time. It is also risky
because it can be life threatening. With its costs a country can lose a lot of money and then not be able
to gain it back, because there may not have been minerals down there and cannot sell them to gain
more money or even the money they spent on it. That can then put a country in an economical crisis if it
makes the same mistake a few times.
Who owns the Oceans minerals?
We think that no one owns them, and if they can go there they can mine there. Also have to have the
money for it and then the can split the funds. Also that no one owns them because there are no borders
on the oceans.
What are the rights?
We think that the rights are who goes there, mines there, if they have money, and then they can trade
with other countries so that it is available in other countries.
