Extent of impact of deep-sea nodule mining midwater plumes is influenced by sediment loading, turbulence and thresholds

The extent of impact by midwater discharge plumes from deep-sea nodule mining will be influenced by the quantity of plume sediment, ocean turbulence and acceptable environmental thresholds, according to numerical modelling and direct experiments
