Who said theres NO life at the bottom of the sea? The reason to mine sea floors is when the riches of the land run out. Is this the case for PNG? According to Dr Cornel de Ronde, Geologist/Geochemist: You can see the wackiest animals 2km at sea depth! Life exists there Dr de Ronde added that theres a whole food chain hovering around vents. These microbes sustain their energy from chemical reactions. Dr de Ronde said these microbes are chemoautotrophs, they dont derive energy from photosynthesis. He said, virtually all ocean life begins with phytoplankton which needs sunlight and iron to start the food chain on which all sea creatures depend. Where does the phytoplankton get its iron to grow? Scientists in the Pacific dont know. If true, can we PAUSE seabed mining and answer this question? Miners like Nautilus are after precious metals - zinc, copper, gold from these towering chimneys of underwater volcanoes. To avoid strict guidelines under International Seabed Authority to mine in international waters PNG was chosen! U save pinis PNG does NOT have an independent monitoring body to monitor and assess mining activities at 2km sea floor depth! In addition, according to Undersea Vents in the Pacific report, one mining company has bought up leases of 300,000km square of Pacific seabed! IS IT TRUE THAT PNG IS USED AS A GUINEA PIG? United we can stop this! Where there is a will there is a way!
