5km deep on the Pacific seafloor in a region called the CCZ, these valuable polymetallic nodules "are the habitat. In an environment made almost entirely of fine, soft mud, these hard rocks are the only surfaces available for corals, sponges, and smaller organisms to anchor themselves."
"MissionScientists estimate that more than 90% of the species living in the CCZ are completely unknown to science."
Seafloor mining is devastatingly destructive & we know better than to allow it to continue. 🌸
