@drrashidsumaila.bsky.social says the costs of managing environmental damage caused by deep-sea mining will likely be astronomical. “Sometimes you just have to leave things alone.”

The U.S. needs critical minerals. Can we get them without sacrificing our oceans?
President Trump is reportedly considering an executive order that would speed up permitting for deep-sea mining, which could lead to a host of problems for underwater ecosystems.
