Diese Woche beschäftigt sich @bayern2 mit "Verborgenen Welten" in der #Tiefsee. Mit dabei u.a. das Tauchboot #Jago und das Projekt @miningimpact. Beiträge zum Nachhören: https://t.co/wIiLJy5qIX und https://t.co/v8QJ9ROHFT

I have not the foggiest clue what a ‘geometric sponge’ is. And no idea that xenophyophores ‘exude slime’. Still the quotes from @DivaAmon Malcolm Clark are excellent. https://t.co/vjklW5zjpX

Start der zweiten Phase des @jpioceans-Projekts @miningimpact: Ziel der wissenschaftlichen Beobachtungen durch @GEOMAR_de ist es, die Rahmenbedingungen für den Abbau von Manganknollen so zu gestalten, dass unkontrollierter Tiefsee-Raubbau nicht möglich ist https://t.co/9lt34bpRKn

Today we are invited to attend the launch event of DEME-GSR's nodule collector. The first field trial of the collector will be monitored by the scientic and financially independet research project @miningimpact. #deepseamining #openscience

In Brüssel startet in dieser Woche die zweite Phase des @jpioceans-Projekts @miningimpact. Ziel: Die Erforschung von ökologischen Folgen von potenziellem #Tiefseebergbau. Zu den Hintergründen ein Beitrag des @NDRinfo: https://t.co/PCBJTwq5jt

On average, we only have one sample/45,000 km2 of the #deepsea. We need more research and Europe has the capacity to conduct this - Sandor Mulsow @ISBAHQ @miningimpact

Have a look at deep-sea toppgraphy: Annemiek Vink presents details of the test Area in the deep sea which has a size of 0.09km2.

Sandor Mulsow The @ISBAHQ depends on the leadership of @jpioceans to generate the scientific knowledge that will help us protect the #CommonHeritage of mankind #UNCLOS #DeepSeaMining @miningimpact

[MiningImpact @miningimpact]

#deepseamining will take away all the life of the first 10 cm of the seafloor - and that is where more than 90% of life is living in the deep-sea sediment, states Matthias Haeckel @MiningImpact coordinator.

Ricardo Santos MEP- I am convinced that #deepseamining will affect ecology and could have a negative impact on other marine activists. There needs to be strong regulations @miningimpact @Searica_ITG

Gert Verreet @Departement_EWI starting today's public discussion of the @miningimpact project and its plans for studying the environmental impacts of #DeepSeaMining @RBINSmuseum

[MiningImpact @miningimpact]

Looking forward to our Public Hearing today: "What are the challenges and impacts of industrial #mining in the #deepsea?" Our scientists and representatives from @DEMEgroup and @ISBAHQ provide some answers today. Join us at @RBINSmuseum. Video will be available afterwards.

[JPI Oceans @jpioceans]

Very glad to kick off the MiningImpact project which will study the environmental impacts and risks of #deepseamining Follow @miningimpact for updates and results.

[MiningImpact @miningimpact]

Excited for our kick-off event tomorrow @RBINS and the public hearing on Thursday. Come join us! More info here: https://t.co/bsNytbqh2R
