Scientists recorded a mysterious sound in the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, a low grunt followed by a squeaky echo, and called it the "biotwang." Now they've figured out which whale makes the sound, which you can hear here: www.scientificamerican.com/article/myst... 🧪

I'm going to wax idealistic for a moment here. These negotiations are not just about the deep sea. These negotiations are wrestling with, for the first time, how humans will commercialize and exploit mineral resources that lie beyond national border. Today it's the deep sea...

A quarter of the countries who sponsor deep-sea mining contractors (meaning they are actively pursuing development of the industry) have come out in favor of slowing things down while we sort out the environmental impacts.
