A potentially interesting companion to this is the first segment in this let's learn everything podcast episode (headphone warning that they play a klaxon during parts of it) which describes creatures living in the deep ocean and their fascinating adaptations. One part brought up is that most media attempts to portray these areas as scary and alien rather than just another massive habitat that we should respect as much as any other biome. I find it interesting to consider how much media romantization or lack thereof could be a driver in public support for conservation.
I don't think we're going to get people to slow down modernization or give up modern luxuries in developed countries. So mining these regions of the ocean may be the least bad option considering...
I don't think we're going to get people to slow down modernization or give up modern luxuries in developed countries. So mining these regions of the ocean may be the least bad option considering the damage to humans and terrestrial habitats from climate change. Given that I think the best we can realistically hope for is to have the regions surveyed to know if there's any spots that are particularly important to the biosphere and should be left untouched.
