Mining deep oceans can provide metals essential for renewable energy. The ocean floor holds bountiful resources that are scarce on land, yet diverse ecosystems exist, posing a challenge.
Companies like The Metals Company focus on areas like the Clarion-Clipperton zone for mineral-rich expeditions. Surprising discoveries, such as rocks generating oxygen for deep-sea animals, highlight the complexity of deep-sea ecosystems.
Collaboration between scientists and capitalists is crucial for deep-sea exploration. The partnership leads to discoveries like rock nodules potentially contributing to habitat oxygen.
