DEEP SEA MINING DISASTEROUS FOR SEA LIFE.

A controversial form of mining by extracting minerals from the seabed risks long lasting and irreversible impacts, including to globally endangered species like blue whales, scientists have warned. A peer-reviewed paper said the loud, constant noises from the machinery could interfere with the unique frequencies used by whales, dolphins and porpoises to communicate and navigate the ocean. Masking these sounds risks separating mothers and calves and disrupting feeding and forcing whales to surface quickly, according to scientists. Critical minerals are increasingly in demand as countries shift off fossil fuels and seek to bolster energy security. Lithium, cobalt and graphite are used in batteries for electric cars, silicon and tin for electronics and rare earth elements for electric cars and wind turbines. But disturbance to marine ecosystems on any scale is likely to be long lasting and irreversible. Imagine if your neighbourhood was suddenly disrupted by construction work that goes on 24/7 – your life would change dramatically. Your mental health would be compromised, you might change your behaviour to escape from it. It’s no different for whales or dolphins.

      Hi Adam, thanks for your comments, we try to post articles that are avoided in some of the media as we think there is a diluting by governments of the real issues.
      Sadly many tipping points have been reached and yet life seems to bumble on as though nothing is happening.

    I was just looking for this info for some time. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative web sites in top of the list. Usually the top sites are full of garbage.
