The public opinion and the media

This episode looks at how the information and narratives that are being produced by the main involved actors are reaching the public through the media. We surveyed the public for their opinions and knowledge. We also asked all actors we talked to about how they felt they were being represented or able to reach the public.

Finally, we discuss potential ways to improve responsiveness and understanding among stakeholders in the deep sea mining debate. What measures could facilitate better information sharing and communication to ensure all perspectives are fairly considered? The goal is to highlight paths forward for more open and adaptive decision-making on deep sea mining that accounts for multiple knowledge systems and viewpoints.
