How does deep-sea mining affect biodiversity
Detalles
| What is deep-sea mining and how could it affect biodiversity and marine ecosystems? As the deep sea remains understudied and poorly understood, there are many gaps in our knowledge about its impact on biodiversity and ecosystems. This makes it difficult to assess the potential impacts of deep-sea mining or implement adequate safeguards to protect the marine environment and the three billion people whose livelihoods depend on marine and coastal biodiversity. This brochure from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) summarizes and illustrates relevant aspects of what deep-sea mining is and how its activity could affect marine biodiversity. |
