You could help redefine an industry. You could empower coastal developing countries to discover, document and decide how to own their ocean.
M-Cubed Research Consulting is an exploration-only consultancy for coastal developing countries, where we break the supposition that exploration always leads to exploitation. Crucially, exploration is also key to conservation.
By leveraging their newfound knowledge of submarine critical mineral deposits, coastal developing countries can secure international support for ocean conservation and sustainable development.
We believe Deep-Sea Mining (DSM) must be limited to exceptional circumstances, that is why we explore for exceptional critical mineral deposits. Our work minimises DSM as an industry through thorough selectivity, and minimises the impact of DSM activities through identifying high grade deposits, and giving the power of ocean stewardship to the state, not the exploiter.
Our exploration will also be an opportunity for early career ocean scientists to gain meaningful, practical offshore skills and experience. M-Cubed may have written to you previously about subscribing to enable your new ocean scientists to register their interest in being involved.
This approach was a mistake.
Instead, as we help coastal developing countries ‘own their ocean’, we are giving institutions from around the world an opportunity to own a limited number of shares in M-Cubed Research Consulting Ltd.
Why is this important to us?
M-Cubed support coastal developing countries: to better service these communities, we want to drive down the costs in collaboration with universities, and pass on that saving to our clients.
Collaborating with you would pair up academic innovation, and real world application. M-Cubed aspire to prove and improve cutting edge technology, we want to contribute to your projects by easing the cost barriers to development.
We are still committed to providing meaningful, practical offshore skills and experience for early career ocean scientists, for free. If you are a new ocean scientist reading this, please share this open letter with your lecturers – and your universities’ commercialisation service.
As a partner in our mission, you will contribute to a more sustainable, fairer future; you will promote responsible resource management on a global scale; and your new ocean scientists will have an impact which will redefine an industry.
Yours Sincerely,
Michael Saunders, Founder
