Deep-sea mining threatens over half of molluscs reliant on hydrothermal vents,
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species

"The global assessment of endemic hydrothermal vent molluscs also reveals the value of protected and conserved areas, where mining is not permitted. Over 30 vent species worldwide are Least Concern thanks to living in Marine Protected Areas, such as Provanna exquisita, an ornate snail that lives only in the Mariana Arc of Fire National Wildlife Refuge in the Pacific Ocean." >>

14 Alien-Like Animals Found in the Mariana Trench & Midnight Zone #oceanlife #marianatrench deep-sea creatures https://www.gsnsp.com/14-deep-sea-creatures-too-strange/

The Pseudoliparis snailfish probably owns the record for the deepest dwelling fish we as humans found so far! We stared into the abyss, in the crushing, cold hadal depths, and what stared back was a chubby tadpole child. And, enamoured, we drew it.

Trivia: a couple days ago we have drawn a picture of the highest dwelling animal on Earth, the Himalayan jumping spider. These two pieces weren't planned to be connected and we drew them in the same week by chance, but that's a fun coincidence and it feels like they are now.

individually, we have to drastically change our lives & cut out consumerism, employment & only use what we actually need to survive. then we should reconsider our norms, values and morals. my opinion is we need to focus on restoring nature, and recovering our health, wellbeing, education and re-training/re-conditioning our thinking. globally.

to me that sounds like heaven compared to this #apocalypse.

#MarianaTrench is an oceanic trench located in the western Pacific Ocean, about 200 kilometres (124 mi) east of the Mariana Islands; it is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth. It is crescent-shaped and measures about 2,550 km

When you descend beyond 200 meters (656 feet), you venture into the deep seabed—a vast realm that extends to abyssal plains at depths ranging from 3,000 to 6,000 meters (up to 19,685 feet). The journey continues even deeper, as the #MarianaTrench plunges to an astonishing 11,000 meters (36,089 feet). These environments, shrouded in darkness and subjected to extreme pressure, harbor distinct forms of life and provide essential knowledge about Earth's geological and biological development. #Ocean

Challenger Deep, at the southern end of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, is 10.9km (6.8 miles) below sea level – deeper than Mount Everest (8.8km [5.5 miles]) is tall.

Mystery of #DeepSea ‘#Biotwang’ Sound Has Finally Been Solved https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/mystery-of-deep-ocean-biotwang-sound-has-finally-been-solved/

"Autonomous underwater gliders first recorded the odd noise echoing through the miles-deep #MarianaTrench in 2014... Confirming which marine animal makes a peculiar noise isn’t easy... #NOAA researchers saw a mysterious species called the #BrydesWhale 10 times... On 9 of the occasions that #whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang."

The Hidden World of Extreme Ocean Depths: Life and Pressures in the Trenches https://deepseanews.com/2023/12/the-hidden-world-of-extreme-ocean-depths-life-and-pressures-in-the-trenches/

"Among #invertebrates, several reach trench depths, including the sea cucumber Myriotrochus bruuni at 10,710 in the #MarianaTrench, the extremely abundant amphipod Hirondellea gigas at 10,897 m in the #ChallengerDeep, the isopod Macrostylis species at 10,710 in the Mariana Trench... The deepest known #vertebrate is the hadal #snailfish Pseudoliparis swirei found at 7966 m."

Day 21 of the #30DayMapChallenge was #Raster.

It occurred to me recently that I haven't done a lot of playing with #QGIS for this year's challenge, so I decided to combine that with this data of the #MarianaTrench and create a #contour map.

It took me a few tries as the trench is so vast that I had to play around a lot with the intervals at which contours were shown in order to have a map that produced anything readable.

Most maps have contour lines for every ten metres, with the 50 and 100m intervals slightly thicker. The pink image below has lines only at every 100m, and had to be zoomed in quite far before you can distinguish any features. The other image has purple contours at every 500m, and white contours at every 1km, which just highlights how deep the trench actually is.

What a fascinating area of the planet.

#Microplastics have contaminated every corner of the planet, from the top of #MountEverest to the depths of the #MarianaTrench, and research has shown they are in many humans’ blood and heart tissue and the placentas of unborn babies. They cause harm in human cells in the laboratory at levels known to be eaten by people via food.

🌊🦠 Discovery in the Deep! A new virus has been found in the Mariana Trench, one of the deepest parts of the ocean.

The Mariana Trench is the deepest place on Earth. It is home to various strange and mysterious creatures, such as giant amphipods, bioluminescent fish, and transparent snailfish. The trench also holds clues to the origins of life, the effects of climate change, and the limits of exploration. The Mariana Trench is a wonderland of discovery.

Better yet, wear clothes made of shorn #wool, #hemp, #bamboo, #flax, or #OrganicCotton.

How do you tackle #microplastics? Start with your washing machine.
Simple filters could help remove #microfiber pollution from your #laundry. But experts say a broader portfolio of solutions is needed to address the problem.

by Saqib Rahim, Apr 19, 2023

"As environmental challenges go, microfiber pollution has come from practically out of nowhere. It was only a decade or so ago that scientists first suspected our #clothing, increasingly made of #synthetic materials like #polyester and #nylon, might be major contributors to the global #plastic problem.

"Today a growing body of science suggests the tiny strands that slough off #clothes are everywhere and in everything. By one estimate, they account for as much as one-third of all microplastics released to the ocean. They’ve been found on #MountEverest and in the #MarianaTrench, along with tap #water, #plankton, shrimp guts, and our poo."
