  1. Companies join a #DeepSeaMining rush after Trump executive order, as regulators fast-track permits

    Trump’s order suggests the U.S. will decide for itself when to mine the global seabed, reversing the decision of previous administrations to honor the seabed authority’s rules.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — "In the year since President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to create a deep-sea mining industry from scratch, businesses have raised millions of dollars from investors, stock prices have soared and federal regulators have raced to fast-track a permitting process.

    "At least nine companies are in talks with the government for access to seabed minerals, according to an Associated Press review. Sections of the seafloor from #AmericanSamoa to #Alaska could be auctioned for offshore mining this summer and through the fall.

    All the action suggests the U.S. may soon give the green light for companies to commercially mine the seabed — something that’s never been done in international waters.

    "But a close look at some of the companies involved reveals uncertain track records and histories spattered with legal disputes, while major questions about how the minerals would be processed and refined remain unanswered. Watchers of the nascent industry are skeptical the promised riches will ever materialize."

  20. #DeepSeaMining causes immediate loss of #SeafloorLife

    by Eric Ralls, February 5, 2026

    "Far below the ocean surface, the deep seafloor is often described as one of the planet’s least disturbed ecosystems. That assumption is now being tested.

    "Companies are preparing to mine mineral-rich #nodules scattered across the abyss. The shift raises urgent questions about how quickly damage could appear once #industrial machines begin operating.

    "A new field experiment offers one of the clearest answers yet. Researchers found that a single trial of a deep-sea mining collector physically removed more than one-third of the animals and species living directly in its path.

    "The results show that biological impacts can occur immediately, not only after years of full-scale extraction."

  25. "#Agricultural runoff provides perfect nutrients for #methanogen growth.

    #Fertilizer and animal waste washing into ocean systems creates nutrient-rich zones where these methanogens thrive like never before. #Nitrogen and #phosphorus pollution from farmland creates ideal conditions for explosive #microbial growth in #coastal waters and #DeepOcean areas. These agricultural inputs essentially act as fertilizer for #methane-producing microbes, creating a connection between #IndustrialFarming and atmospheric #GreenhouseGas levels that scientists never fully appreciated.

    "Coastal regions near major agricultural areas show the highest concentrations of these supercharged methanogens, with some areas recording methane production levels ten times higher than baseline measurements. The problem compounds itself because areas with intensive farming also tend to have the strongest ocean currents, meaning these fertilized methanogen populations get distributed globally. Every season’s #AgriculturalRunoff creates new opportunities for these microbes to establish thriving colonies in previously stable ocean environments."

    "Japan’s own planners acknowledge the uncertainties. Jan briefings on the test mining plan stressed that, However, key aspects remain unknown, including the quality of the minerals and the economics of lifting and processing such vast volumes of mud. Mining the mud had previously been seen as too expensive compared with land-based deposits, and even with new technology, the cost of pumping, dewatering and refining the material at scale is still an open question. Analysts also point out that any move toward commercial production will face intense scrutiny from environmental regulators and coastal communities, who want clearer evidence on how sediment plumes, noise and habitat disruption will affect #DeepOcean #ecosystems around the site."

    "Japan’s own planners acknowledge the uncertainties. Jan briefings on the test mining plan stressed that, However, key aspects remain unknown, including the quality of the minerals and the economics of lifting and processing such vast volumes of mud. Mining the mud had previously been seen as too expensive compared with land-based deposits, and even with new technology, the cost of pumping, dewatering and refining the material at scale is still an open question. Analysts also point out that any move toward commercial production will face intense scrutiny from environmental regulators and coastal communities, who want clearer evidence on how sediment plumes, noise and habitat disruption will affect #DeepOcean #ecosystems around the site."

  45. “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."
