Named for the Japanese word shinkai — “deep sea” — our publication invites readers to explore the planet’s last resource frontier. We translate the intricate science, engineering and geopolitics of seabed minerals into clear, evidence-based reporting that anyone can follow. By fusing industry briefings with independent analysis, we close the gap between offshore operations and on-shore understanding. Our mission is to make deep-sea mining intelligible.
Our founder, Javier Lee, holds degrees in applied mathematics and biochemistry and has roots in research at the Biodesign Institute. After earning an MSc in AI for Business, he focused his expertise into the deep-sea mining sector — starting this site to make the science and stakes clear to anyone interested. Beyond that frontier, Mr. Lee follows emerging ocean-tech ventures, biomimetic robotics, 3-D printing technologies, and conservation cloning.
