Abstract. The deep sea, the largest biome on Earth, has a series of characteristics that make this environment both distinct from other marine and land ecosystems unique for entire planet. This review describes these patterns processes, geological settings to biological biodiversity biogeographical patterns. It concludes with brief discussion current threats anthropogenic activities deep-sea habitats their fauna. Investigations fauna began in late 19th century. In intervening years,...
Anthropogenic litter is present in all marine habitats, from beaches to the most remote points oceans. On seafloor, litter, particularly plastic, can accumulate high densities with deleterious consequences for its inhabitants. Yet, because of cost involved sampling no large-scale assessment distribution patterns was available date. Here, we data on and density collected during 588 video trawl surveys across 32 sites European waters. We found be deepest areas at locations as land...
Since the first discovery of deep-sea hydrothermal vents along Galápagos Rift in 1977, numerous vent sites and endemic faunal assemblages have been found mid-ocean ridges back-arc basins at low to mid latitudes. These discoveries suggested existence separate biogeographic provinces Atlantic North West Pacific, a province including South Pacific Indian Ocean, separation East Rise, Rise. The Southern Ocean is known be region high species diversity centre origin for global fauna. It has also...
Mora and colleagues show that ongoing greenhouse gas emissions are likely to have a considerable effect on several biogeochemical properties of the world's oceans, with potentially serious consequences for biodiversity human welfare.
Abstract As the United Nations develops a post-2020 global biodiversity framework for Convention on Biological Diversity, attention is focusing how new goals and targets ecosystem conservation might serve its vision of ‘living in harmony with nature’ 1,2 . Advancing dual imperatives to conserve sustain services requires reliable resilient generalizations predictions about responses environmental change management 3 Ecosystems vary their biota 4 , service provision 5 relative exposure risks 6...
The precautionary approach and collaborative governance must balance deep-ocean use protection.
Monitoring and assessment must underpin development of a new international agreement
There is increasing interest in mining minerals on the seabed, including seafloor massive sulfide deposits that form at hydrothermal vents. The International Seabed Authority currently drafting a Mining Code, environmental regulations, for polymetallic sulfides and other mineral exploitation seabed area beyond national jurisdictions. This paper summarizes 1) ecological vulnerability of active vent ecosystems aspects this remain subject to conjecture, 2) evidence limited resource opportunity...
As climate change and biodiversity loss intensify, the deep seabed beckons as a source of metals for batteries. Initiating this new exploitation conflicts with international agreements to decelerate through wider protections ecosystem integrity. The poor record terrestrial mining must not be an excuse mine ocean floor. Improved oversight protection miners increase production on land will produce better global outcome.
The ocean plays a crucial role in the functioning of Earth System and provision vital goods services. United Nations (UN) declared 2021–2030 as UN Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. Roadmap aims to achieve six critical societal outcomes (SOs) by 2030, through pursuit four objectives (Os). It specifically recognizes scarcity biological data deep-sea biomes, challenges global scientific community conduct research advance understanding ecosystems inform sustainable management. In...
Deep seabed mining is a major new intersection of human enterprise and deep-ocean ecosystems. This paper reviews the concept process for holistic approach to planning environmental management in deep sea based on Strategic Environmental Goals Objectives. around environment can establish vision future condition ocean floor which International Seabed Authority (ISA) draw wealth precedents experience. By engaging stakeholders applying current knowledge ecosystems, ISA build meaningful strategic...
Abstract Motivation Traits are increasingly being used to quantify global biodiversity patterns, with trait databases growing in size and number, across diverse taxa. Despite interest a trait‐based approach the of deep sea, where impacts human activities (including seabed mining) accelerate, there is no single repository for species traits deep‐sea chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems, including hydrothermal vents. Using an international, collaborative approach, we have compiled first...
