SciencePhoto: Phys.orgDeep-Sea Mining Impact on Seafloor Ecosystem Lasts 44 Years
Scientists revisited a Pacific seabed mining site 44 years after initial testing and found lasting changes to the deep-sea ecosystem. The study highlights the persistent impact of polymetallic nodule mining on abyssal fauna, showing that deep-sea life is still affected decades later. This research was reported by Institut de Ciències del Mar (CSIC) and covered by The Times of India and Phys.org.
