Deep-Sea Mining With No Net Loss of Biodiversity—An Impossible Aim

Abstract: Niner et al. Deep-Sea Mining and No Net Loss inequity caused by mining-associated biodiversity losses, and only after all NNL measures have been used to the fullest extent, potential compensatory actions would need to be focused on measures to improve the knowledge and protection of the deep sea and to demonstrate benefits that will endure for future generations.

“…The COI and 28S allowed the barcode-only samples to be linked to the phylogenomic exon data. A maximum-likelihood tree was constructed by IQ-TREE 1.6.9 (Nguyen et al, 2015;Hoang et al, 2018) using a five partition (exon codon positions, 28S, COI) HKY+G model and 1000 ultra-fast bootstrap replicates (with nearest-neighbour interchange (NNI) optimization). Then the 200 "super-matrix backbone" samples were pruned out to leave only the 300 barcode samples, node support bootstrap values were recalculated and the tree was rooted according to O'Hara et al (2017).…”

“…Metal-rich (polymetallic) nodules from the deep-sea floor were described and their potential economic importance acknowledged as early as 1873, during the HMS Challenger expedition (Murray and Renard, 1891;Lusty and Murton, 2018). However, it was in the 1960s that economic interest in these deposits was ignited after polymetallic nodule resources in the Pacific Ocean were estimated to be so abundant as to be an essentially endless supply of metals such as Mn, Cu, Ni and Co (Mero, 1965;Lusty and Murton, 2018).…”

“…The GOBI effort at Duke University also focuses on several issues relating to the environmental management of mineral exploitation in the deep sea, including: (a) consideration of the potential for loss of biodiversity that might result from mining activities in the deep sea (Niner et al, ; Van Dover et al, ); (b) development of a framework for science‐based design and design assessment of networks of no‐mine areas (so‐called Areas of Particular Environmental Interest) on mid‐ocean ridges (Dunn et al, ) in support of environmental management efforts of the International Seabed Authority, which has the exclusive mandate to regulate access to the area and its resources consistent with UNCLOS; and (c) deliberation on the need for protection of active hydrothermal vent ecosystems (Van Dover et al, ) to inform regional environmental management plans for polymetallic sulphide deposits. These activities are intended to contribute to protection of the marine environment and strategies for sustainable development of seabed mining.…”

“…Pressures and threats associated with anthropogenic activities occurring in the UK deep sea are expected to intensify in the future, particularly as coastal resources dwindle and demands for goods and services from the deep-sea increase (Armstrong, Foley, Tinch, & van den Hove, 2012). If left unmanaged, these pressures are likely to alter the provision of deep-sea ecosystem services by impacting on core processes and ecosystem function, as well as causing a decrease in biodiversity (Niner et al, 2018;Van Dover et al, 2017). Current levels of resource utilization are unlikely to be sustainable, although lack of knowledge hinders understanding of what constitutes sustainable, resource-efficient utilization (Vinde Folkersen, Fleming, & Hasan, 2018).…”
