"Sending gigantic mining machines designed to bulldoze and churn up the seabed is clearly a very bad idea. Want to know how bad? Here’s five reasons why deep sea mining will only get our planet into deep trouble:
Reason 1: Very bad news for wildlife
Reason 2: Extinction of creatures found nowhere else on the planet
Reason 3: Disturbing one of our best allies against climate change
Reason 4: Impacting the ocean food chain
Reason 5: Do we want to destroy wonders that we are yet to discover and properly understand?"
