Next time you charge your phone or drive your EV, here’s a wild thought: the metals powering your tech might come at a big cost to ocean life. A recent deep-sea mining test in the Pacific wiped out a third of the critters living there—think worms and shellfish we didn’t even know existed. As demand for batteries surges, the ocean floor is the new gold rush, but the price? Possibly losing species before we even meet them. Food for thought on your next gadget upgrade! #Business #Industry #DeepSeaMining
