In this first Deep-Sea Round-Up of the festive season, the UN Ocean Decade Virtual Series heats up, a number of papers describe deep-sea species new to science and deep-sea mining is once again in the spotlight, with the news that the United States are becoming increasingly interested in seafloor minerals. Furthermore, the Wanted section is rich with requests for videos, submissions and molluscs! All this and much more. Enjoy!
