How To Protect The Ocean · Sep 25, 2020 · 36m

Deep-sea mining is being evaluated and negotiated for the High Seas. It's predicted that is will commence near the end of the decade, but there are many concerns that we don't know enough about the Deep-Sea before we start to extract minerals from it.

A new study that mapped Deep-Sea Corals around the world using existing data is trying to share the amount of habitat that is known on the deep-sea bottom so we can make sure that we protect it from destructive practices such as mining.
