©Stortinget.
6/20/2023 The Government is proposing to open parts of the Norwegian continental shelf for commercial seabed mineral activity.
At the same time, the Government is presenting a strategy illustrating how Norway can be at the global forefront when it comes to stewardship of seabed mineral resources, based on facts and knowledge.
Environmental considerations will be safeguarded throughout the entire value chain and extraction will only be permitted if the industry can demonstrate that this can take place in a prudent and sustainable manner.
