Mining the seabed in the Arctic sounds crazy, but it’s exactly what the Norwegian government is planning to do.⁣ ⁣ The Arctic is warming 3-4 times faster than the rest of the world and now its core - the deep sea - is about to be exploited for the mining of minerals.⁣ ⁣ Mining the seabed, especially near hydrothermal vents, could cause irreversible damage and disrupt the entire ecosystem. The noise from the machines could also threaten dolphins and whales that live in the proposed mining area 😭🐬⁣ ⁣ It’s a crucial time to make some noise against these plans.
