This week’s Deep-Sea Round-Up features new research on deep-ocean microbes, the “common heritage of humankind” principle, and the concept of “effective control” in deep-sea mining policy. We’re also sharing news about the third annual Fathomnet workshop in March, an opening in the Director of Science position with Ocean Networks Canada, and a last chance to comment on the US National Ocean Biodiversity Strategy. Finally, scroll to the end to explore images of deep-sea life using NOAA Ocean Exploration’s Benthic Deepwater Animal Identification Guide.
