New Footage Shows Mysterious Deep-Sea Anemone 3 Miles Below the Surface

Oceanic researchers used time-lapse to discover the hidden life of a tunneling predatory anemone that hunts prey 15 times its size.

“The deep sea covers about two-thirds of the Earth’s surface, but according to a new study, humans are estimated to have observed less than .001% of the deep #seafloor — an area roughly the size of Rhode Island. Stephanie Sy speaks with the study’s author, Katy Croff Bell, who is working to change that.”

Humans have seen a tiny fraction of the deep sea. Researchers are trying to change that

Odd question: Which #water mass is the #seafloor interacting with? It's very much a "depends where". Just around Europe and North Africa, it can be one of over twenty different water masses.

The Trump Administration Wants Seafloor Mining. What Does That Mean?

A recent executive order would accelerate mining in little-understood undersea ecosystems.

On average, there is less than a kilometer of sedimentary material between the #seafloor and the magmatic #substrate. Unless you're on a continental margin, then it's several kilometers.

The maps of related to this study are on the NOAA servers, but for some reason, they are going to be removed soon. If this is relevant for you, back it up now.

When the ice broke away and scientists got a good look at the Antarctic Ocean floor, they were surprised to see abundant life. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/antarctic-ice-expedition-1.7490216 (Remember: Life finds a way!) #antarctic #antarctica #seafloor
Scientists thought this Antarctic sea floor would be barren. But it's teeming with life | CBC Radio

When the crew aboard an ocean science expedition learned that an iceberg the size of Chicago had broken off from an Antarctic ice shelf, they knew they had to stop what they were doing and go check it out. But they didn't expect to find a rich and flourishing ecosystem.
