Mountains are just one of the remarkable features that rise from our seabed. Beneath the ocean’s surface also lie valuable minerals that companies hope to mine for use in electronics and other technologies. But deep-sea mining threatens the deep ocean’s biodiversity, fragile ecosystems, and natural balance. Disturbing the seafloor can damage habitats that have taken millions of years to form. Organizations like The Oxygen Project are working to stop this threat by raising awareness, educating the public, and campaigning for governments to limit or ban deep-sea mining.
