According to a new study, the fast-growing practice of deep-sea mining poses significant threats to important sea creatures, such as fish, shrimp, corals and sponges.
Researchers say they found evidence that disturbances caused by deep-sea mining can slash populations of nearby ocean animals roughly in half and impact marine life across larger areas than scientists have previously thought.
