    Japan hauls rare earth-rich mud from deep sea in bold test mission

    "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."

  3. Sharing a sunrise with a wild soul like this… it’s good for the heart. 🤎 🧡

    Lately I’ve been documenting the devastating toll starvation is taking on our seals — but today, I just want to share this little piece of calm.

  4. 🚨 ALERT: Scientists discover microscopic ocean drama! 🤯🔬 After 60 years of intense observation, it turns out #diatoms and #dinoflagellates have been battling for biomass supremacy in the North Atlantic. 🌊 Clearly, Mother Nature is more compelling than any Netflix series. 🎬🍿

  5. Just as the sun was rising in Kaikōura, I spotted this little face watching me from the rocks, lit perfectly by golden light.
    Living among these incredible creatures is something I’ll never take for granted.
    🦭 But their survival depends on how we treat our oceans.
