That\u2019s a little larger than the size of Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The report, published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, arrives as nations debate <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/29\/climate\/seabed-mining-trump-congress.html\" title=\"\">whether to pursue industrial mining of the seabed<\/a> for critical minerals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some scientists argue that so little is known about the undersea world that more research on the deep seafloor is needed to responsibly move forward with extractive activities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cMore information is always beneficial, so we can make more informed and better decisions,\u201d said Katy Croff Bell, a marine biologist who led the study and is the founder of the Ocean Discovery League, a nonprofit group that promotes seafloor exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Learning more about the deep sea is essential for understanding how climate change and human activities are affecting oceans, she said. But the study also highlights the fundamental excitement of exploration that drives many marine scientists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou can just imagine what\u2019s in the rest of the 99.999 percent,\u201d Dr. Bell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Visual documentation of the deep sea, which started with the deep-sea submersibles Trieste in 1958 and then Alvin in 1960, lets biologists discover new organisms and observe how they interact with each other and their environments, providing insights into ocean ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Bringing deep-sea organisms to the surface to study is challenging. Adapted for high pressures, few animals, if any, survive the journey, so photos and videos are crucial.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are some habitats you can\u2019t sample from a ship,\u201d said Craig McClain, a marine biologist at the University of Louisiana who was not involved in the study. \u201cYou have to go there in an R.O.V. and do it,\u201d he said, referring to remotely operated vehicles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Getting seafloor visuals helps geologists, too. Before the advent of remotely operated undersea vehicles and crewed submersibles, researchers had a more limited approach: drop a big bucket off a ship, drag it along, haul it up and see what was inside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey\u2019d just have a jumble of rocks and try to sort it out, with no context,\u201d said Emily Chin, a geologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography who was not involved in the new study. \u201cIt\u2019s like people who study meteorites, trying to understand a process on another planet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Seeing seafloor rock outcrops in photos and videos has allowed scientists to learn how fundamental Earth processes work. It also helps companies assess potential sites for mining and or oil and gas activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But getting to the seafloor is expensive, both in funds and time. Exploring one square kilometer of deep seafloor can cost anywhere from $2 million to $20 million, Dr. Bell estimated. The dives can take years to prepare for, and just hours to go wrong. And once a dive is underway, it progresses slowly. A rover tethered to a ship has a limited radius of exploration, moving at a crawl, and relocating the ship is tedious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">With so many barriers, Dr. Bell wanted to know how much seafloor we\u2019ve seen, and how much is left to explore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dr. Bell and her collaborators collected more than 43,000 records of deep-sea dives and assessed the photos and videos that have been collected, estimating how much seafloor area the dives documented.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All together, they estimated that between 2,130 and 3,823 square kilometers of the deep seafloor have been imaged. That works out to about 0.001 percent of the entire deep seafloor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI knew it was going to be small, but I\u2019m not sure if I expected it to be quite that small,\u201d Dr. Bell said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been doing this for almost 70 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The study excludes proprietary dives where the data are not publicly available, such as from military operations or oil and gas exploration. Even if those increased the documented area by an order of magnitude, \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s enough to move the needle,\u201d Dr. Bell said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Much of what deep-sea marine biologists know about the seafloor is based on that small fraction. The situation is akin to extrapolating information from an area smaller than Houston to all of Earth\u2019s land surfaces, the authors say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The study also found that high-income countries led 99.7 percent of all deep dives, with the United States, Japan and New Zealand topping the charts. Most dives were within 200 nautical miles of those three countries. That means that dives are being led by a small group of countries, potentially biasing what is researched and where, the authors said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are many people around the world that have deep sea expertise,\u201d Dr. Bell said. \u201cThey just don\u2019t have the tools to be able to do the kind of research and exploration that they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dives tend to be in the same areas, such as the Mariana Trench or Monterey Canyon, or target the same kinds of features of interest, like hydrothermal vents, the study found. And since the 1980s, most deep dives have been in shallower, more coastal waters. That leaves many areas in the deep sea unexplored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe study is a good assessment of where we\u2019re at and, quite literally, where we need to go in the deep sea,\u201d Dr. McClain said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/07\/climate\/deep-sea-exploration.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Humans have visually documented about 1,470 square miles, or a mere 0.001 percent, of the deep seafloor, according to a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[6893,6891,943,3273,1535,2318,268,1864,6892,4229],"class_list":["post-24021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science","tag-croff-bell","tag-exploration-and-explorers","tag-fish-and-other-marine-life","tag-katy","tag-marine-biology","tag-oceans-and-seas","tag-research","tag-science-advances-journal","tag-seabed-mining","tag-submarines-and-submersibles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Want to Be a Deep Sea Explorer?
