It has been found that the nodules produce oxygen. Here is an article:

It addresses the mining question near the end:
<<
Deep-sea mining projects proposed across the CCZ would extract nodules from swaths of the seafloor. The International Seabed Authority (ISA), which governs the seafloor in international waters, is currently discussing rules and regulations for mining the nodules and other deep-sea targets. Twenty-seven nations, including 26 member states of the ISA, have called for a moratorium, precautionary pause or ban on deep-sea mining.

“I don’t think [this research is] a ‘nail in the coffin’ for deep-sea mining—that has never been the intention,” Sweetman says. “It’s just another thing that we now need to take into account when it comes to deciding, ‘Do we go and mine the deep ocean, or don’t we?’ To me, that decision needs to be based on sound scientific advice and input.”

I learned about this from this video:

If you look at the comments, everyone is saying that the mining must stop immediately.
