Environmentalists are furious and have conducted their own studies on the effects of deep-sea mining. The Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSM) is one of the leading coalitions against the Nautilus project.

The study also suggests sediment plumes could expose marine life to toxic metals, which will then work their up the food chain to tuna, dolphins and even humans.
