Who is the International Seabed Authority and where did they get the right to grant mining and exploration rights in our oceans? Are they some bogus industry group or are they an actual government entity?

We just have to fuck up every single thing on Earth.

While you are at it. Add France to the list of competitors.

Nah man. It just adds a sick basline to the whale songs!

I'll just say that for the suffering people caused animals in general due to stupid shit like this which is like torture for sea life because they're so attuned, and sensitive to noises to where it's like taking away their hearing because guarantee this damages their hearing and if damaged enough they can't function properly so they either depend on the pod or die. I'm not sure why humans have to inflict cruelty when unnecessary particularly mammals humans shouldn't be entitled to much in terms of an afterlife

We got a lot to answer for :/

Hopefully, you do. The bottom of the ocean is nice this time of year.

Mankind's answer to everything"burn it."

There is no underwater mining taking place.

Sound underwater, travels an amazing distance, harming and disorienting sea creatures of all kinds.

Not a fun time to be alive - we are just raping mother earth. It's really, really not a fun time.

It's sad how just one species of animal can make tons and tons of others just disappear after just a simple decade.

Weirdly mild example...

More like trying to enjoy an evening at a restaurant while there's a building demolished across the street.

Alright, once more, from the top!

The ocean covers what 71% of our world? I’m sure they’ll find somewhere else to go.

Which is why we'll end this behavior right a- No! Of course, not! We just gotta mine!

I'd be more surprised if it didn't disrupt them. Ever try to enjoy an evening at a restaurant with some friends while someone's kid is watching youtube at full volume on an iPad at the table next to yours?

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)

> Noise produced by mining the seabed could interfere with whales' ability to communicate with one another, a study shows.

> Noise produced by mining the seabed could interfere with whales' ability to communicate with one another, according to a study released on Tuesday, just as plans to start deep-sea mining for battery metals gather pace.

> Mining is likely to produce noise across a range of frequencies that could travel hundreds of kilometres, the study said, interfering with marine mammals' ability to navigate using echolocation and disrupting the messages they send via whale song.

India has never given any western tech to Russia that would be a really dumb move.

Seems there is quite a complex relationship with India.

Don’t you mean xenophobia?

France should be added to the list. Safron have made suggestions they'd do it too.

Read the article. Don't see anything to support a claim of racism as it is now. It might be the motive, but we don't know that yet, so it's appropriate not to invoke racism at this point.

Let's just say mutually beneficial relations rather than good relations
