Deep-sea mining risks disrupting the marine food web, study warns Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences on the tiny animals at the core of the vast ocean food web — and ultimately affect fisheries and the food we find on our plates.

The environmental risks posed by deep-sea mining extend far beyond destruction of seabed habitats. New research from the University of Hawaii at Manoa affirms that plumes of sediment from mining operations pose a real threat to life in the ocean water column. bit.ly/47ZsxOi #DSM #SeabedMining

Seabed mine hearing exposes fast-track cost check concerns Critics say a current debate over financial veracity could’ve been avoided if the fast-track mandated a cost-benefit analysis

Deep-sea mining risks: sediment plumes that smother coral, noise that harms whales, species loss before they’re even discovered, and threats to cultural practice that depend upon an intact, healthy ocean. These harms fall hardest on local communities. #SeabedMining #OceanJustice #PacificVoices
