Before the machinery arrived, seabed was brimming with animal life, despite absence of light and a severe lack of nutrients
After mining had shredded the seabed, the change was stark
Animal numbers dropped by 37% within machine’s tracks, while species diversity fell by 32%

Slow down in dolphin areas, keep a safe distance, and never chase or surround them. If dolphins approach, put engines in neutral and let them pass.
