One more scientific discovery that reinforces just how little we know of the deep sea floor. We need to study it more before we start strip-mining it for minerals that are used in yesterday's battery technologies. bbc.com/news/articles/…

.ISBA-HQ delegates elected Leticia Carvalho as Secretary-General They remain divided between those wanting to finalize rules for commercial exploitation of deep-sea mineral resources, and those supporting a precautionary pause or moratorium Summary ➡️ enb.iisd.org/international-…

We congratulate Leticia Reis de Carvalho, who has been elected as new Secretary General of ISBA-HQ! We wish her every success in assessing the full range of #EnvironmentalImpact of #Deepseamining, balancing these with the need for deep sea #minerals 👉easac.eu/news/details/d…

Des minéraux visés par le deep sea mining produisent de l'oxygène ! C’est la découverte révolutionnaire faite par une équipe de scientifiques internationaux dans la zone de Clarion-Clipperton, au large du Pacifique. Pour Anne-Sophie Roux , cette découverte est une raison

Coming back after leave, just wonderful to see Leticia Carvalho & congratulate her after being elected as the new ISBA-HQ Secretary-General! Grateful for Leticia's leadership at UN Environment Programme on ocean conservation & look forward to working with her and ISBA-HQ team to protect our oceans

Q&A: What does deep-sea mining mean for climate change and biodiversity loss? | Aruna Chandrasekhar Yanine Quiroz Giuliana A. Viglione, PhD w/ comment from Duncan Currie Diego Lillo Goffreri Dr Kerstin Kröger JNCC 🎨 Joe Goodman @kerryanncleaver Antara Basu ➡️ buff.ly/3yt1XPY #ISA29

We are already facing a triple plenary crisis of #ClimateChange, #BiodiversityLoss and pollution. #DeepSeaMining is not economically viable and would cause irreversible damage to fragile ecosystems. Read UN Environment Programme Jamil Ahmad's opinion piece. #DefendTheDeep dawn.com/news/1851051?r…

Why is the #DeepSea worth protecting? Dr Diva Amon, Oceano Azul Foundation Tiago Pitta e Cunha & Gina Guillen-Grillo talk about the wonders of the deep ocean, the benefits for humanity and warn of the irreparable damages from #DeepSeaMining. #DefendTheDeep DSCC

Bathyphysa siphonophore (AKA flying spaghetti monster) spotted in the #NazcaHighSeas! This is a carnivorous colonial organism composed of multicellular units; each zooid performs a job — reproduction, digestion, floatation, & body positioning. Talk about teamwork!

NEW: Leticia Reis de Carvalho will soon take over the international agency overseeing #deepseamining. She told my colleague Hannah Northey that she'll lead an investigation into corruption by current Secretary General Michael Lodge. "I have no option." subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

#NazcaHighSeas: Researchers discovered & mapped a new seamount, ~2 miles tall in international waters. Highlights from 28-day expedition include encountering remarkable biodiversity & locating lush animal forests w/ ancient corals like this Iridogorgia. schmidtocean.org/new-seamount-a…

ICYMI, researchers discovered that polymetallic nodules on the seabed produce oxygen! This discovery could potentially alter our understanding of deep-sea ecosystems and their functions, stressing the urgent need to adopt a moratorium and #DefendTheDeep. deep-sea-conservation.org/oxygen-product…

The sweetest little octopus.🐙 There was a decent sized scale worm under it that you can see in the photos. Not sure if it was hiding or about to be dinner. Or maybe they're just seafloor buds. Northeast Pacific Deep-sea Exploration Project ROPOS ROV #nepdep
