An ELI Public Webinar
Join the Environmental Law Institute and expert panelists for a comprehensive overview of U.S. federal actions to expedite the mining of seabed minerals. Attendees will learn about the relevant executive orders and federal agency regulations setting forth fast-tracking requirements, as well as their impacts on the seabed mining permitting processes governed by the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act and the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act.
We will take audience questions during the webinar. Whether you are a state regulator, territorial official, legal practitioner, policymaker, or advocate working at the intersection of ocean law and resources governance, this session will offer essential context for understanding how seabed mining decisions are made.
This webinar is part of an ELI series on seabed mining. Check out our webinars on deep-sea mining under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act (available here) and under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (available here).
