DOSI Deep-Sea Round-Up
Welcome to November! This week, the Round-Up features research on biomimetics, cold seep corals, and hitchhiking microplastics. It’s also a big issue for seabed mining, as the latest round of ISA council meetings began this week. Our Minerals Working Group designed an Information Sheet for the occasion titled “Scientific Knowledge is Currently Insufficient for Effective Environmental Management of Deep-Seabed Mining,” which you can read here.
DOSI members are preparing to bring the deep ocean to COP27 in Sharm el Sheikh next week, so our Events section highlights opportunities to engage with their events both in person and online. There are also interesting new positions with both the Seattle Aquarium and MASTS seeking applicants.
Finally, now that a month of entertaining spooks is over, it can be helpful to remind friends and family that the deep ocean isn’t nearly as scary as it’s made out to be. We have a video on that topic, so please share it with anyone who could use it!
