Deep-sea mining is attracting growing interest from mining companies and could be the prominent global market in upcoming years due to the predicted influx of economic dependency on such new industries. Additionally
 * Colombia is third in the production of Oil in South America succeeded by Brazil and Venezuela.
 * Produces of 1,000,000 barrels/day
 * 80% of the entire 7.2 billion dollars of foreign direct investment of the country, will flow to oil/deep sea mining industry.


 * Colombian position: Deep-sea mining makes a significant portion of Colombia's national income, therefore its cancellation is only detrimental to Colombian development.


 * Monitoring systems for mineral composition.
 * Studies outlining the effect of Colombian
 * incentives for reducing uncertainty and minimizing ecological impacts associated with deep-sea mining.

Advocates for the implementation of a sustainable deep sea mineral extraction program through the introduction:
 * More abundant STD's (Submarine Tailing Disposal) facilities to effectively combat the rising threat of water mineral tainting.
 * Causation of effective studies to highlight current mineral composition and project future mineral composition and toxicities.
 * Usage of filtering mechanisms over deep-sea hydrothermal vents in order to combat the threat of deep sea sub dermal vents.

Promotes the financial support of Canada's Nautilus and Australia's Bluewater Metals
 * Elects these two corporations given their previous trade history, sustainable development track records and their firm stance on sustainable mineral refinement.
 * Supports sustainable mineral mining.
