IMPLICATIONS OF DARK OXYGEN PRODUCTION AS A NATURAL PROCESS and DEEP SEA MINING
Excerpt:
The researchers, whose study was published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, found that through a newly discovered process, masses made of minerals such as manganese and iron, often used to make batteries, can produce oxygen even in complete darkness. Organisms normally need light to produce oxygen through a process known as photosynthesis, but researchers believe electrochemical activity produced by these masses — called polymetallic nodules — can extract oxygen from water. The masses formed over millions of years and can be about the size of a potato. ..... Environmental activists and many scientists believe deep-sea mining is dangerous because it can destabilize ecosystems in unpredictable ways and could affect the ocean’s ability to help contain climate change. The study received funding from companies active in seabed mining exploration.

International Seabed Authority? YES! ISA ORG - JAMAICA
The longer I publish this Google BlogSpot, the more I realized that there are ever more people concerned about ocean ecology and the sea creatures that live in the oceans!

Excerpt:
In 2017, the UN General Assembly proclaimed the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development 2021-2030 to foster scientific research and technological innovation to support a healthier and more sustainable ocean. This initiative is coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The objectives of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science are at the core of ISA’s mandates to promote and encourage the conduct of marine scientific research in the international seabed area (the Area), coordinate and disseminate the research and analysis when available and facilitate the participation of developing States in deep-sea exploration and research programmes.
To formalize and organize its contribution to the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science, ISA has developed a Marine Scientific Research Action Plan to support achieving the scientific objectives and societal outcomes identified. This Plan reflects the vision endorsed by 168 Members of ISA through the adoption of its Strategic Plan and High-Level Action Plan for 2019-2023.

IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EARTH and MARS THAT IS REVEALED IN THE DEEP SEA?
In this article the answer is YES!
DAILY MAIL SCIENCE : SCIENTISTS UNEARTHEN DEEP CONNECTION BETWEEN EARTH AND MARS : DEEP SEA
Excerpt: The team drilled 370 holes deep in the oceans across the globe to analyze sediments within the sea floor.
Samples showed cycles of weakening and strengthening, which pointed to vigorous circulation happening below the depths.
Lead author Dr. Adriana Dutkiewicz said she and her team were surprised to uncover signs of the cycles in sediments, marking the first evidence found in geological data.
'There is only one way to explain them: they are linked to cycles in the interactions of Mars and Earth orbiting the sun,' she continued.

SETI ORG - HUMPBACK WHALE COMMUNICATION PRESS RELEASE
Excerpt: A description and analysis of the encounter appears in a recent issue of the journal Peer J. entitled: “Interactive Bioacoustic Playback as a Tool for Detecting and Exploring Nonhuman Intelligence: “Conversing” with an Alaskan Humpback Whale.” “We believe this is the first such communicative exchange between humans and humpback whales in the humpback “language,” said lead author Dr. Brenda McCowan of U.C. Davis. “Humpback whales are extremely intelligent, have complex social systems, make tools - nets out of bubbles to catch fish -, and communicate extensively with both songs and social calls,” said coauthor Dr. Fred Sharpe of the Alaska Whale Foundation.

WHALE-SETI PROJECT : TWENTY MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH HUMPBACK WHALE NAMED TWAIN
EARTH COM : 20 MINUTE CONVERSATION WITH HUMPBACK WHALES
Excerpt: hale-SETI, short for Whale Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, marks a revolutionary stride in understanding marine mammals, particularly whales.
This project blends the search for extraterrestrial intelligence with marine biology, aiming to decode whale communication. It operates under the hypothesis that whale sounds contain complex, intelligent messages akin to languages used by humans or potentially, extraterrestrial beings.
