Natural Wonders

A handout image made available by the National Oceanography Centre on July 24, 2023, shows the abyssal urchin Plesiodiadema globulosum, one of the most abundant invertebrates in the NE Pacific region and found in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), has shown it is not just rich with life -- with one study finding some 5,000 species previously unknown to science -- but also far more complex than previously thought. That raises further questions about controversial proposals, currently being discussed at international talks in Jamaica, to mine the CCZ for the rock-like nodules. Once thought of as almost an underwater desert, the vast abyssal plain stretching between Hawaii and Mexico has been scoured by scientists as mining firms eye mineral-rich "nodules" scattered across the seafloor. From a giant sea cucumber dubbed the âgummy squirrelâ and a shrimp with a set of elongated bristly legs, to the many different tiny worms, crustaceans and mollusks living in the mud, the lightless ocean depths are far from barren. There are no commercial mining operations currently allowed in the CCZ and campaigners are hoping it stays that way.
