🗺 Did you know that in 2017, only 6% of the world’s seafloor had been mapped to modern standards? Considering the ocean spans some 70% of the Earth’s surface, that’s a significant gap!
But over the past five years since Seabed 2030 launched, we’ve been able to map almost 25% of the ocean floor.
By discovering more about the seabed, we gain a greater understanding of our environment and can ensure its protection. After all, we can’t protect what we don’t know…”

The #HighSeasTreaty "aims to protect #biodiversity in our #oceans on a global basis, bringing the high seas and #seabeds, which no country owns, under an agreed international law.

Under the treaty, countries and [their] companies have to do and publish an environment impact assessment for any projects they are planning for the high seas — which is particularly timely as the contemporary “gold rush” is for #minerals and rare earths on and under the #OceanFloor."

Ancient ocean floor surrounds Earth's core, seismic imaging reveals
A massive ocean floor lurks near Earth's core. Now, seismic imaging has revealed that it likely surrounds much — if not all — of the core.
Scientists have discovered an ancient ocean floor between Earth's core and mantle.

“Most people don’t think about the bottom of the #ocean. When you look at #maps, the ocean is portrayed as flat blue with very few features, however, this couldn’t be further from what the ocean looks like. Picture huge #mountains, exotic #HydrothermalVents, forests, and features that seem otherworldly, supporting diverse life that is just as alien."
