Fast-forward 4 years and a ton of research later, and my initial estimate remains the same--we've seen ~0.001% of the deep seafloor, an area approx the same as the size of Rhode Island.

How little we’ve seen: A visual coverage estimate of the deep seafloor
In decades of deep-sea exploration, humans have observed only 0.001% of the deep seafloor, leaving 66% of planet Earth unseen.

Discovery of deep-sea coral symbionts from a novel clade of marine bacteria with severely reduced genomes - Nature Communications
Corals and other marine invertebrates host diverse microbes that remain poorly characterized, especially in the deep sea. Here the authors discover a new clade of bacteria with uniquely streamlined ge...
