Deep sea mining: discovery of 6 new species in unexplored hydro-thermal vents

January 04, 2017 -

Unfortunately, the poorly studied home of these newly discovered species is already slated for deep ocean mining.

The case highlights the great threat to ocean life posed by the up-and-coming industry of sea floor mining, the scientists warn.

Greenpeace has previously warned that though there are between 500,000 and 5 million unidentified marine species, the coming boom in deep sea mining places these creatures at risk of extinction before they can even ...

STUDY: Deep-sea mining for EV metals can slash ocean animal populations in half

July 26, 2023 -

A new study published in Current Biology revealed that the rapid expansion of deep-sea mining of metals needed for electric vehicles (EVs) can slash ocean animal population in half.

In the study, captured from an underwater cobalt mining site off the coast of Japan, a short mining test was conducted by the Japanese government and analyzed by the researchers involved in the study to determine the harmful effects.

One year after the mining ...

New deep-sea mining operation of rare earth minerals will be catastrophic for our oceans

January 22, 2020 -

In an in-depth piece he wrote for The Atlantic, Wil S. Hylton warns about the impending launch of "history's largest mining operation," which threatens to deliver what could potentially amount to a type of final death blow for the health of our saltwater terrain.

While it's been known since at least 1868 that our underwater sea beds are loaded with many of the same precious metals, gems, and minerals as what exists here on land, the technology to dig it all up is only ...

The next great frontier in resource extraction is located deep beneath the waters of our world’s great oceans. But experts warn that the reckless dredging of our delicate, underwater ecosystems could be the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back, environmentally speaking.

In an in-depth piece he wrote for The Atlantic, Wil S. Hylton warns ...

Why do deep-sea dragonfish have invisible teeth?

December 28, 2019 -

A team of oceanographers and materials scientists from the University of California and the INM-Leibniz Insititute for New Materials in Germany discovered the secret behind the dragonfish's invisible teeth. They found that the teeth were speckled with nanocrystals, which prevent light from scattering.

"Most deep-sea fauna have unique adaptations, but the fact that dragonfish have transparent teeth puzzled us, since the trait is usually found in larger species," explained ...

Thousands of dead sea creatures washing up on UK beaches in “waist-deep” piles

October 28, 2021 -

At several beaches in Teesside, piles of dead crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters can be found lying across the shore. Other sea creatures, such as fish and porpoises, have also been found among the dead.

Area fishermen have reported to the North Eastern Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority (NEIFCA) that they have not been fishing near the shore there because there is nothing to catch. NEIFCA Senior Environmental and Scientific Officer Tim Smith said that divers ...

Scientists discover microbes in harsh deep-sea environments – is this evidence of alien life?

January 04, 2021 -

"We found chemical evidence of the organisms' use of organic material in the sediment that allows them to survive," said co-author and oceanographer Arthur Spivack of the University of Rhode Island.

The findings confirm that life does exist in such deep-ocean ecosystems and hints at the possibility of alien life on other planets, where brutal conditions are comparable to those in harsh Earth environments.Evidence of life in deep ocean environments

Proposals to mine the ocean floor could do irreversible damage to deep-sea ecosystems

August 28, 2018 -

The oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface, of which 90 percent is considered deep sea. Despite this vastness, the seas and oceans are the least explored environments on Earth; only around 0.0001 percent of the seabed has been investigated.

Advances in technology have made it possible to explore some of the deepest reaches of the oceans, which has led to the discovery of both previously undiscovered species and ones that were thought to have gone extinct.

However, ...

Study: Deep-sea trawling is extremely destructive for fish populations and has little economic benefit

May 15, 2018 -

In addition, the fishermen who practice this technique often under-report their actual catches. A lot of what they capture are immature or non-edible fish that get thrown away and end up wasted.

Bottom trawlers target deep-sea fish by dragging massive weighted fishing nets across the seafloor. During a 65-year-long period starting from 1950, they accounted for 25 million tons of 72 different species found deeper than 1,310 feet (400 meters). (Related: Destructive fishing ...

Deep-sea mineral supplements promote faster recovery and reduced risk of injuries during exercise in middle-aged men

September 08, 2018 -

This is the finding of a new research from the University of Taipei, where scientists from Taiwan, Thailand, and the U.K. conducted a study to find out the effects of deep ocean minerals (DOM) on the cerebral hemodynamic response of young and middle-aged men during exercise. Researchers observed 12 men who were 21 years old at the time of the study, and nine 45- to 48-year-old men. The men received either DOM (desalinated materials and trace elements from seawater gathered ...
