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.
Javier Lee, founder of Shinkai Intel, holds degrees in applied mathematics and biochemistry. At the Biodesign Institute, he performed research in DNA-nanotechnology and gold-nanorod binary modeling for increased digital storage capacity. After earning an MSc in AI for Business, he focused his expertise on the deep-sea mining sector, where he follows emerging ocean-tech ventures and the rapidly expanding industry of sourcing critical minerals with sustainable mining technologies.
