Ace Fujiwara on Substack

I'm going to make a short, unpleasant and concise summary of what will happen to every living child that are currently within the age group of between 3 to 5, on the entire planet, in the decades to come, if the executives of seabed mining companies, are permitted to do what they attempt to do so. 1. The ocean seafloor when polluted with plumes from seabed mining will cause foodsource for ALL fish stocks to dwindle. From the smallest to the biggest fish they will stave and their population will decline by a lot. 2. Our oceans are not disconnected to land. If the eco-system in our seas are messed up, the food source and ecological balance on land will be affected. There will be less useful land to grow things to support life. 3. Investors should take heed, that all the targeted minerals and metals can be commercially recovered from seawater brine, without the need for seabed drilling and environmental plume pollution. Continued holdings in any commercial deep sea mining activity will gather substantive litigative liability from across multiple jurisdictions, and will impair the long term viability of your investment as such. There is not a single executive in the deep sea mining industry, who can say with a straight face answer of "No" to all 3 of the above statements. Finally, if deep sea mining were to be commercialized to the scale intended within the next 3-5 years, will you and I be able to look at that 18 year old young adult and answer with a straight face to their question; WHY?

Bangor University secures funding for interdisciplinary marine ecosystem research

Dr Alec Moore, lecturer in marine top predator conservation at Bangor University’s School of Ocean Sciences, has been awarded funding through the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) new cross research council responsive mode (CRCRM) pilot scheme. Dr Moore’s project is one of 36 projects sharing £32.4 million from the first round of the scheme, which is designed to support groundbreaking interdisciplinary research.

Scientists found a ‘lost’ deep sea mining site off the SC coast. What secrets does it hold?

In 1970, the world's first experimental deep-sea mining operation took place 130 miles off the South Carolina coast. Scientists recently went back. Their shocking photos, released on Feb. 19, come

The ocean microbiome

A group of bacteria lives in close association with other organisms throughout the world's oceans. Microbiologist Meinhard Simon and his team at the recently completed Collaborative Research Centre Roseobacter have spent 13 years investigating what makes these microbes so successful.
