Seafloor Investigations wins 2nd contract to support near-bottom photo-surveys and boxcore sampling for KIOST to assess deepsea polymetallic resources in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) of Pacific Ocean.

Seafloor Investigations successfully completes the first two regional sampling cruises #1 & #2 of the 2022 BMJ Exploration Campaign. This field effort acquired over 80 boxcores seabed samples resulting in polymetallic nodules samples, environmental sediment samples, topwater biological samples, biological sediment samples, and megafauna specimen. These samples and the associated data were used to produce a regional geologic and environmental assessment of the BMJ claim areas.

Seafloor Investigations / Mr. Kurras was part of a 4-person team and tasked with developing the exploration campaign for a multi-year exploration and assessment effort in the Pacific by Blue Minerals Jamaica. The effort submitted an official claim application to ISA and defended the application to ISA board for the successful approval of the claim application.
