#DeepSeaMining has the potential to disrupt microbes and the carbon cycle in the most critical segment - deep storage of carbon in the abyssal plain. Deep seabed mining should not proceed. #DeepSea #OceanConservation

The case for a moratorium on seabed mining is clear: 🔬The science isn't there ⚖️The rules aren't in place 💰The economics don't add up 🌍Equity isn't guaranteed Our ocean is too valuable and vulnerable to take the risk. It's time to press pause. #ISA31 pewtrsts.org/4jI2W03

Plankton chokes to death on microfibres. Just like whales, seabirds choke to death on large plastic items, microfibres from our clothing kill the plankton. @zeiss_micro @natgeo

Decisions made today could alter the deep-sea forever. This month, the @ISBAHQ must consider the perils of seabed mining. The risk to our ocean and planetary health is too great to rush into the unknown. #ISA31 pewtrsts.org/4d7qbkw 📸Drewtre/Flickr Creative Commons

E/V Nautilus@EVNautilus·
Why do so many of our dives focus on seamounts? Scientists believe #seamounts to be biodiversity hotspots due to upwelling currents bringing nutrients to surface waters and creating an area where we can see corals, sponges, and all the associated animals that live around them.
