In too deep: why the seabed should be off-limits to mining companies | Chris Packham | Opinion | The Guardian @GreenpeaceUK https://t.co/jNAlHNekE5— Chris Packham (@ChrisGPackham) July 3, 2019
On practically every mission down to the deep, scientists discover new species. We know more about the surface of Mars and the moon than about the bottom of the ocean. Mining the deep sea sounds just as ludicrous as mining the moon.
We’ve already seen the huge destruction ravaged upon our planet by corporations mining on land. Are we really prepared to give the go-ahead to the mining industry expanding into a new frontier, where it will be even harder for us to scrutinise the damage caused?
