To proactively respond to the national fourteenth Five-Year Plan policy, we will adhere a comprehensive land and sea planning approach, working together promote marine ecological protection, optimize geological space, integrate economy. This paper provides review of sustainable development hazards (MGHs), with particular focus on submarine landslides, environment, as well First, novelty this study lies in its summary temporal spatial distribution, systematic classification, inducible factors, realistic characteristics landslides enrich theoretical concept. Moreover, costs, risks, impacts environment economy engineering activities such oil gas fields, metal ores, were systematically discussed. Combined current an analysis was conducted environmental pollution economic losses caused by landslides. Herein, key finding is that China Mexico are viable candidates for future large-scale offshore exploitation oil, gas, nickel, cobalt, cuprum, manganese, other mineral resources. Compared land-based mining, deep-sea mining offers superior advantages. Finally, it suggested physical model tests numerical simulation techniques effective means investigating triggering mechanism their evolutionary movement process, impact infrastructure. In future, establishment multi-level multi-dimensional monitoring chain landslide disasters, joint risk assessment, prediction, early warning systems, can effectively mitigate occurrence disasters
