BAD NEWS<\/span><\/strong>

A handful of companies and governments are planning to send monster machines <\/strong>deep beneath the waves, disrupting sensitive and unique habitats<\/strong> to extract metals and minerals.<\/strong> Sending gigantic mining machines designed to bulldoze and churn up the seabed is clearly a very bad idea.

1.<\/strong> Very bad news for wildlife
2.<\/strong> Extinction of creatures found nowhere else on the planet
3. <\/strong>Disturbing one of our best allies against climate change – “blue carbon”
4. <\/strong>Impacting the ocean food chain
