🌊 Want to dig into deep-sea mining? On 6 October we’re bringing together experts in deep-sea ecology, ocean policy & media to explore how reporters can cover this complex topic—from the science & environmental risks to navigating an evolving regulatory landscape. Register: https://loom.ly/5TpGe78

The United States is moving way too fast on deep-sea mining, completely outside the international process. Scientists have a lot more to learn about life on the ocean floor and how mining could harm these creatures, but they know enough to be majorly concerned. www.science.org/eprint/7HB6V...

What Does a Barbie Pig Have to Do With Seabed Mining?

Meet the “barbie pig,” “gummy squirrel,” and “headless chicken monster”: These fantastical-sounding nicknames belong to real creatures living in the deep sea—one of the most extreme environments on Earth. And taxonomists, the scientists who discover and name new species, are finding new life in the ocean with every expedition to its depths. In fact, the deep sea makes up 90% of the marine environment, yet recent science suggests we've seen less than 1% of it.
