Description

New study reveals potential ecological impacts of deep-sea mining, funded by The Metals Company. Research shows a significant decrease in small animals and diversity after a mining test in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a rich source of metals for renewable energy and military uses. The future of these delicate ecosystems remains uncertain as the International Seabed Authority has not yet approved commercial mining.
