Melvin Mosley+FollowDeep-Sea Mining Is Wrecking Ocean LifeDid you know deep-sea mining in the Pacific is causing a massive drop in ocean biodiversity? A new study found a 32% decrease in species and 37% fewer animals after just one mining test. The scary part? Most of these creatures are still unknown to science! Mining for battery metals might help clean energy, but it’s wrecking habitats we barely understand. Is the tech boom worth risking mysterious ocean life? #Science #DeepSeaMining #OceanCrisis00Share
peterfoster+FollowDeep-Sea Mining: The Hidden Cost of Your BatteryNext 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 #DeepSeaMining00Share
