Despite centuries of exploration, most of the oceanâs life remains undiscovered and unnamed. This knowledge gap doesnât just limit scienceâit also restricts our ability to understand and conserve ecosystems under rapid environmental change.
The Deep Ocean Floor: Not as Flat as We Thought
The Deep Ocean Floor: Not as Flat as We Thought
For a long time, biologists believed the deep ocean floor was mostly flat and covered in mud. However, seafloor explorations have revealed that the deep sea is actually full of rocky habitats â such as polymetallic nodules, seamounts, and manganese crusts â that support diverse marine life.
