A blackwater image of a Larval eel in the Sargasso Sea. \nGreenpeace is on an expedition in the Sargasso Sea, a unique region in the North Atlantic Ocean that is home to a diverse array of marine life, including loggerhead and green sea turtles.\nThe journey, part of the “Protect the Oceans” year long tour, will see Greenpeace and University of Florida researchers team up to study the impact of plastics and microplastics on marine life and the importance that the Sargasso’s drifting Sargassum seaweed habitat has for the development of juvenile sea turtles.<\/figcaption> \u00a9 Bryan Lisinsky \/ Greenpeace<\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nBut the scariest thing of all? Commercial deep sea mining operations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\nGreedy corporations are champing at the bit to set up commercial deep sea mining operations<\/a>.<\/strong> This destructive practice will be used to extract finite deposits of cobalt, nickel, and other minerals used in batteries. <\/p>\n\nWhile there\u2019s no question that the green energy future we\u2019re building will require batteries, we don\u2019t need to destroy the seafloor through a new extractive industry to build that future<\/strong> \u2014 especially if companies recycle more, use less, and build technology to last, all of which is the current trend in battery R&D investment.<\/p>\n\nWhy Deep Sea Mining should scare you, too<\/h2>\n\n
Leveling the ocean floor with heavy machinery to extract minerals will destroy ocean life in their path and threaten marine biodiversity<\/a> by spewing waste into the water column and on the seabed floor, disrupting deep-sea ecosystems, food chains and the carbon cycle, potentially even exasperating the climate crisis. <\/p>\n\nThese creatures might be creepy, but do they really deserve to be dodging these deep sea mining operations? At Greenpeace, we think not.<\/p>\n\n
