Norwegian Deep Sea Resource Exploitation Strategic Analysis and Suggestion for China

Abstract

In recent years, the Norwegian government has been vigorously promoting deep-sea mining. Norway's geological research and exploration, technical equipment development, environmental policy making and other aspects have been in the forefront of the world, taking the lead in providing the possibility for the commercialization of deep-sea mining. Based on its strong engineering equipment foundation and profound legal and policy accumulation, Norwegian government has actively changed the path of deep-sea mining according to the current situation, and has found a balance between commercial development and environmental protection. Based on the comparative analysis between China and Norway, this paper put forward suggestions in four aspects: 1) Accelerate cooperation between deep sea industry, university and research, drive the development of emerging industries; 2) Construct industrial policies for deep-sea mining based on deep-sea law; 3) Strengthen the research on deep-sea environmental protection and create an environmentally friendly deep-sea development route; 4) Grasp the international mechanism and strive for the initiative of international rules; so as to realize "deep sea development" as soon as possible.
