The exploitation of hydrocarbons and polymetallic nodules seems to become more and more promising. Anyway the actual degree of knowledge on deep-sea mining resources and metallurgic technics on nodules suggest more cautious evaluations. Geography can give a valuable support to better understand the true chances of deep-sea mining, respect to same resources inshore, and their possible relations with the ports and coastal industries.Les perspectives qui sont offertes par les hydrocarbures et les nodules polymétalliques dans la mer sont très intéressantes. Toutefois les connaissances actuelles des conditions géologiques et de la métallurgie des nodules nous conseillent d’être plus prudents. La géographie peut contribuer efficacement à faire ...
