Octopus Garden • MBARI
MBARI research and technology have revealed that thermal springs at the base of Davidson Seamount are an important nursery for the deep-sea pearl octopus.

Yes, like other cephalopods, pearl octopus die after they reproduce. Dead octopus at the Octopus Garden provide a feast for scavengers. A rich community of invertebrates lives alongside the nesting females, undoubtedly benefiting from unhatched eggs, vulnerable hatchlings, or adults that have died.

Their findings, published in @natureportfolio.nature.com, reaffirm earlier work by researchers including Steven Haddock of @mbarinews.bsky.social, who have urged the global community to move cautiously in the face of all the uncertainties. mbayaq.co/44cVKEa
Scientists urge caution, further assessment of ecological impacts above deep-sea mining • MBARI
A new study argues that deep-sea mining poses significant risks not only to seafloor ecosystems, but also to animals in the vast midwater realm.

This video was recorded aboard the @mbarinews.bsky.social R/V Rachel Carson. Joost Daniels uses DeepPIV, an innovative imaging technology that utilizes lasers, to scan a larvacean so we can study their intricate structures.

🌊A busy day for @mbarinews.bsky.social science and @globaloceanbgc.bsky.social, the major US contribution to @bgc-argo.bsky.social.
BGC-Argo floats used to study marine heatwaves and oxygen deficient zones. Great work by Mariana Bif - University of Miami, former MBARI postdoc.
