I'm low-key worried about these deep-sea mining operations 
. Like, I get it, we need those minerals for renewable energy and all that jazz, but can't we find a way to do it without killing off 37% of marine life? 
It's wild how some species adapt, but many others just can't make the cut 
. And honestly, it feels like we're still learning about these ecosystems, so maybe we should be taking it easy for a sec before we start mining away 
. We don't wanna be those humans who mess up another planet

gotta think about those 4,000+ marine species! I mean, 800 of 'em are new to us... it's like, what have we been doing out here? 
It's wild that the animals in those top two inches of sediment were the ones most affected... like, isn't that where they live?! 
We gotta take care of our planet before it takes care of us. 
but the thing is, they also brought back some not so good news... mining in the deep sea is killin off marine life left & right 
i mean we need renewable energy & all, but can't we find a way to do it without hurtin the environment? 
I'm literally shaking thinking about all those 4,000+ marine species and nearly 800 new ones being affected by deep-sea mining... I mean what's next? Are we gonna start drilling into the Great Barrier Reef?! 
We need to take a step back and think about the consequences of our actions before it's too late...
