Vast amounts of carbon are stored in deep waters and seafloor sediments which help regulate Earth’s climate.
At a time of climate instability, deep sea mining puts one of our largest carbon stores at risk.

Much of the deep ocean floor is made up of extremely fine sediment. Fine particles from dsm would stay suspended for long periods, smothering life, disrupting feeding, and altering ecosystems far from where mining occurs.

Many seamounts are coated in cobalt-rich crusts that take millions of years to form. Mining would strip these surfaces away, destroying the ecosystems they support.

🤯 Mindblown Monday: some deep sea species grow slowly, mature late, and live for centuries.
The life of the deep is built for stable conditions, so scientist warn recovery from disturbance is uncertain.

Black smokers form when chemical-rich water, superheated beneath the seafloor, shoots into the icy ocean.
Vibrant ecosystems thrive around black smokers, perfectly adapted to the deep where chemical energy, not sunlight, fuels survival.

🤯 Mindblown Monday: New research shows deep-sea mining plumes act like "junk food" for ocean life—diluting marine snow with nutrient-poor sediment.
Impacts ripple from tiny organisms up to tuna, seabirds & whales.

Join the call for a moratorium.

We still don’t understand the full risks of disturbing the deep.
That’s reason enough to keep it untouched.

In 2024, scientists reported that deep sea nodules may create oxygen in complete darkness.

While further research is needed, this possibility highlights how much we're yet to learn.

Whales use a deep-ocean “sound highway” to talk across entire ocean basins.
Deep-sea mining noise could block those calls.
The deep isn’t silent — it’s full of life worth protecting.

Ever thought about what it’s like 11km below the surface?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench there's crushing pressure - yet life still thrives.
The deep ocean is special and irreplaceable - it must be protected.

How do you spot your next snack and avoid hungry whales in near total darkness? With eyes as big as soccer balls! 👀

The deep sea holds life stranger than science fiction - and it needs protection.

Did you know?
In the deep sea, many species grow much larger than theit shallow-water relatives, a phenomenon called

DEEP-SEA GIGANTISM.

Think giant squids, colossal isopods and enormous jellyfish!
