Deep-Sea Mining Uncovers Wild New Species

Imagine sending a mining robot 13,000 feet underwater and stumbling on a whole bunch of never-before-seen creatures! That’s what just happened in the Pacific. Scientists found tons of new species, but also saw a 30% drop in biodiversity where the mining machine rolled through. It’s a reminder that we barely know what’s down there—and we need to be super careful before we start scooping up metals from the ocean floor. #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #Biodiversity
