Essentially, this project represents an opportunity for the<br />

mining industry to give back to Nauru.<br />

Nauru does not have any commercially prospective non-living<br />

seafloor minerals in its EEZ, thus it must look to the<br />

international seabed area.<br />

Nauru will particularly benefit from training and capacity<br />

building from this new industry in Nauru given that this area<br />

has been identified as a national incapacity in Nauru’s National<br />

Sustainable Development Strategy 2005-2025. The training<br />

provided by NORI in partnership with the Nauru Education and<br />

Training Foundation will particularly benefit Nauru’s young<br />

people who will over time be employed in the project or serve<br />

as advisors to the State.<br />

This project provides Indigenous Naruans with an opportunity<br />

to rebuild their society, regain their culture, and regain their<br />

independence.
