Exploitation minière des grands fonds : de l’enjeu de mieux connaître la biodiversité des abysses marins ?
À l’heure où de nombreux pays aimeraient rendre possible l’exploitation minière des abysses, les scientifiques appellent à la prudence et à la nécessité de mieux connaitre leur biodiversité.

Meet Chrysomallon squamiferum, the volcano snail! 🐚🔥
This deep-sea wonder lives on hydrothermal vents, armored with iron scales. It hosts symbiotic bacteria and supports unique vent life.
⚠️ Already endangered, it faces greater risk if deep-sea mining expands!
