MTS TechSurge: Filling the Gaps in Technology to Understand Seabed Critical MineralsAfter careful consideration of a number of variables, the decision has been made to cancel February’s Seabed Critical Minerals TechSurge in its current form. Along those lines, many prospective attendees were unable to commit due to prevailing programmatic and budgetary uncertainties at the federal level. In the coming weeks, we will be actively exploring opportunities to hold this conversation at a later date, ensuring timeline and tactics accommodate the evolving needs of our members and partners. With rapid technological advancements and increasing demand for critical minerals, the facilitation of information sharing around this topic remains a top priority for the MTS Marine Minerals Resource Committee, the MTS Ocean Exploration Committee, and the MTS community at large. Stay tuned for more information within the coming month about specific upcoming opportunities to engage. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
