"Almost every time we go into the deep ocean, we find new species. There’ been scientific evidence that some deep sea sponger can live for up to ,000 year. Deep sea corals -4000 years. So the ability of some of these organism to recover their. Populations after they’ve been damaged are very limited. Companies are interested in mining the sea floor for polymetallic nodules: rock-like formations that contain metals like nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese. Mining the deep sea would affect its PH, its nutrient contents, and its livability for the other creatures."
Question: What can we expect deep sea mining to look like?
It'll look Bejings sky in summer..
Correct... Underwater, I observed the harm done to reefs near me in Hawaii, and it is tragic when compared with the beautiful diversity of living reef ecosystems with their manifold lifeforms... colorfully beautiful beyond human imagination. The dead reefs are abandoned, gray, and dusty looking.
@AnonySchmoose sad testimony to our willful human pride..
Ruining the rest of the planet for profits

Alarming because ocean diversity and ecosystems
are mandatory for survival of ALL life on earth.
Montrously stupid to destroy nature of ocean.
