The ISA Council finished the second reading of the draft regulations for the commercial exploitation of deep-sea minerals. However, the […]

Sharing this petition from @greenpeace as to spread the word. This is a petition to protest against deep sea mining: https://greenpeace.org/international/act/stop-deep-sea-mining
I recommend signing this (I have already done my duty) as deep sea mining can have the effect of devastating biodiversity in the oceans. Boost and share if you can!
Greenpeace InternationalStop deep sea mining - Greenpeace InternationalThe deep ocean is one of the world’s largest, most fragile, and most important ecosystems. We need a global moratorium to stop the launch of this destructive new extractive industry.
i personally feel there’s just too much money involved and greed is going to destroy the ocean and god knows what else. Tale as old as time.

“Thousands of Giant Eggs Found”: #UnderwaterVolcano Unleashes Terrifying Discovery That Has Marine Scientists in Total Shock
An unprecedented discovery off the coast of Vancouver Island has unveiled thousands of giant eggs nestled within an active underwater volcano, offering new insights into the mysterious life cycles of #DeepSeaCreatures and the critical role volcanic habitats play in #MarineBiodiversity.
Gabriel Cruz June 29, 2025
Excerpt: "The active underwater volcano near Vancouver Island serves as a natural laboratory for studying the complexities of marine ecosystems. The #geothermal warmth supports a unique# biodiversity, offering scientists a rare opportunity to explore how these environments affect marine life development. The discovery of giant eggs in this volcanic setting suggests that underwater volcanic activity may have a more significant impact on marine life cycles than previously thought.
"A follow-up expedition in 2023 witnessed a #PacificWhiteSkate laying an egg at the site, providing valuable insights into the reproductive behaviors of this mysterious species. The presence of multiple species utilizing the volcano as a nursery underscores the broader ecological significance of these habitats. This finding emphasizes the need for ongoing research to better understand the intricate dynamics of ocean ecosystems and their inhabitants."

ScienceDailyMining the deep could mute the songs of sperm whalesExploration for deep-sea minerals in the Clarion Clipperton Zone threatens to disrupt an unexpectedly rich ecosystem of whales and dolphins. New studies have detected endangered species in the area and warn that mining noise and sediment could devastate marine life that relies heavily on sound. With so little known about these habitats, experts urge immediate assessment of the risks.

@CivicCoding wenn KI GUTES tut für #Naturschutz, #Menschenrechte, #Gemeinwohl, dann verdient sie jede Aufmerksamkeit, jeden Fördertopf, jede Auszeichnung.
Warum wir gerade menschgemachten Content und Kreativität in eine Maschine füttern, die Klima kostet und die digitale Welt zur Farce macht, erschließt sich mir nicht.
Aber wenn Technik und hilft, Unrecht und Handlungsbedarf sichtbar zu machen, ist es die Pixel wert.
