Nauru in Australia is known as an area where mining is done in the seabed to obtain minerals.
But foreign media reported that a big environmental threat has emerged due to this.
It is said that the vital marine ecosystems in the ocean floor will be destroyed through these excavations.
Nauru is a small Pacific island located 4,000 km (2,485 mi) off the coast of Australia.
The island is reported to have a population of approximately 12,000.
