The article discusses the concerns surrounding deep-sea mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, where valuable polymetallic nodules are located. Marine biologist Diva Amon, once excited by the discovery of potential new species during her research dives, now fears the imminent threat of mining activities leading to irreversible environmental damage. Critics argue for a moratorium on deep-sea mining until more comprehensive scientific studies are conducted to understand its impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystems, as these areas are largely unexplored and vulnerable.
Critics are calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining until more scientific data can be obtained on the environmental impacts of these operations.
