Using remotely operated vehicles, 19 dives were conducted to explore the deep sea, with some of the dives going thousands of meters deep. The findings were shocking, for both good and bad reasons. The scientists, who were led by Dr. Erik Cordes of Temple University, focused on marine life of all sizes—from tiny microbes to fish and …
These deep-sea corals at the Madison-Swanson Marine Reserve in the Gulf of Mexico are protected, along with the marine life they harbor. ... Don't buy jewelry or curios made from deep-sea corals. Make seafood choices that support wise and sustainable fishing practices.
Researchers recently discovered an "incredible number" of potential new marine species, as well as a handful of hefty new seamounts while exploring the deep sea off the coast of Chile.
Subsea mining, or deep sea mining, is a method of retrieving minerals from the ocean floor. Deepsea mining operations typically occur at depths of 4500 ft. to 12,000 ft. around areas with metallic nodules, as well as areas with high levels of geothermal activity.
The United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development presents an exceptional opportunity to effect positive change in ocean use. We outline what is required of the deep-sea ...
At Ocean Info, we dive deep into ocean-related topics such as sealife, exploration of the sea, rivers, areas of geographical importance, sailing, and more. We achieve this by having the best team create content - this ranges from marine experts, trained scuba divers, marine-related enthusiasts, and more.
Risks for companies: difficult to establish minimum due diligence as best practice from other industry sectors (under which biodiversity decline has continued) is difficult to relate to the knowledge gaps and unique challenges of deep-seabed mining; the lack of inclusion of marine and social sciences in expert judgment and baseline data …
This article describes the current state of deep-sea mining governance in areas beyond national jurisdiction, providing an accessible overview of the …
The potential emergence of an ocean mining industry to exploit seafloor massive sulfides could present opportunities for oceanographic science to facilitate seafloor mineral development in ways that lessen environmental harms.
Our findings underscore the need for policymakers to ensure stewardship of deep-sea ecosystems while providing the most updated understanding of the marine bioprospecting landscape. Discover the ...
What is the potential magnitude and extent (both in space and time) of deep-sea mining impacts on marine species and environments, and what are the likely …
The EPSs of two marine bacteria isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, namely Vibrio diabolicus and Alteromonas infernus, have been investigated for their potential applications in regenerative medicine . In particular, the EPS (HE800) from V. diabolicus, is commercialised under the name Hyalurift ...
The idea of Deep Sea Mining has been floating around since the 1960s, the cost and technical difficulty of extracting metals and minerals from the ocean floor once kept this habitat safe but this time has come to an end.
Sand making is the process of creating artificial or manufactured sand from materials like rock, stone, sandstone, or glass. With the increasing demand for sand, the …
Mining materials from the sea floor could help secure a low-carbon future, but researchers at MIT and beyond are racing to understand the environmental effects.
A deep sea marine reserve is proposed for designation to prevent the further decline of these globally threatened habitats and species and facilitate their recovery. As part of the process to determine whether this deep sea marine reserve should be designated as an MPA, Marine Scotland is now inviting views on the findings ...
Expeditions to the depths of the oceans have revealed strange dark worlds bristling with species new to science – now the race is on to discover them.
Further, the value chains are highly geographically concentrated, making them vulnerable to political instability, geopolitical risks, natural disasters and possible export restrictions. A handful of countries have taken the lead in developing technology and knowledge for exploration and extraction of deep-sea minerals.
In the marine environment, blue radiation is the colour that transmits best and reaches the greatest distance, while red radiation is rapidly absorbed. ... A notable exception is the deep sea dragon fish of the Malacosteidae family, which are capable of producing a red bioluminescence only for their eyes, which have evolved to be able to ...
To be a deep-sea scientist is to be one part scientist, one part explorer, and three parts masochist. The logistical difficulties and financial requirements of sampling …
Marine life off the Los Angeles coast may still be impacted by the effects of a long-disused DDT dumping site, a report from UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography and San Diego State ...
Deep-sea fish evolved to live in the dark depths. Split into 40 known species, their sizes range from 2.8cm to 12cm long, and like many mysterious deep-sea creatures, they carry an array of evocative monikers, including half-naked (Argyropelecus hemigymnus), lovely (Argyropelecus aculeatus), and false oblique (Sternoptyx …
