Abstract

The article focuses on the efforts of marine biologist Diva Amon to protect deep-sea ecosystems from the threats posed by deep-sea mining. Amon, based at the Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory at the University of California, Santa Barbara, highlights the fragile nature of life below 200 meters in the ocean, where mining for resources like polymetallic nodules, sulfides, and cobalt-rich crusts could cause irreversible damage. She emphasizes the lack of knowledge about deep-sea biodiversity, noting that a significant percentage of species in areas like the Clarion Clipperton Zone remain undescribed. Amon argues that deep-sea mining could exacerbate environmental issues rather than mitigate them, stressing the ocean's vital role in climate regulation and the potential for biodiversity loss.
