Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Oceans Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on September 1, 2018, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on ocean health and economy. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors and contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].
Scientists have found a tiny sponge that may be the most abundant and important marine organism on a vast stretch of the ocean floor, which companies and nations want to mine for valuable minerals.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
