A visual investigation
Making the
unseen visible.
Marine imagery, spatial reconstruction and plume modeling bring the possible footprint of mining into focus.
The film draws on publicly available information and oceanographic analysis. Its scenarios ask how impacts might extend beyond the immediate area of collection.
Blue Peril was presented as a side event during the 2022 United Nations Ocean Conference. The project’s science and advocacy context are documented in its accompanying resources.
