Experts disagree on whether pulling up decommissioned subsea cables for recycling is the best thing for the marine environment. Should operators adapt cables to detect tectonic activity? Should they invest in cable removal and seabed refurbishment? What can be done to minimise the environmental impact of cable clusters in subsea hubs such as Singapore? How can environmental surveys mitigate damage during cable laying and maintenance?
