Welcome to the first Deep-Sea Round-Up of May! We’re swimming in new research this week, from a report on the exponential growth of hadal science to a deep-sea alligator fall and the evolution of deep-sea corals.

In deep-sea mining news, a new paper outlines remaining regulatory issues and the ISA shares its latest newsletter. Our Events section this week features World Economic Forum webinar on deep-sea mineral stewardship, while the Opportunities section includes a call for early career session co-leads at this year’s Ocean Best Practices workshop.

Finally, today’ Round-Up ends with a look at a new deep-sea science communication social media account run by graduate students at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Make sure to give them a follow!
