From: The ocean is one large ecosystem

deep-sea mining is a type of extractivism that scrapes up polymetallic nodules but at the same time removes all life that has attached itself to these nodules. This new industry thus also causes a permanent loss of habitat for living things at that depth.

From: Recolonization with artificial nodules. Real or fake?
