Scope

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The scope of this article is broader than Deep sea mining. If anyone wants to propose a merge, it should be to merge deep sea mining into this article. Both have potential as stand-alone articles, but that may take a long time. Both are subsets of Underwater mining, which includes mining in rivers and lakes, and is currently confusingly redirected to deep sea mining. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 11:00, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am confused how they are different -- and the leads don't make a good distinction (and the sources that are cited in the leads don't make a distinction). I am wondering if this is content fork, Sadads (talk) 21:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Quite a lot more content could be added from Miller et al 2016. I may get round to it some time, but if not it is freely available. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 16:21, 14 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
