The deep sea is an expensive place to mine (or do anything, really) and it’s probably not necessary given that there are lots of alternative sources on land. It shouldn’t be that hard to ban given that the payoff is pretty uncertain?
The most extensive “mining” is probably building offshore oil wells and that’s done plenty of damage.
I'm no expert, but outside of territorial waters, enforcing laws at sea is not easy. I don't know what the overlap is between the open ocean and waters shallow enough to mine effectively.
