More than 15 years after BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill, a new study finds deep-sea fish, crustaceans and cephalopods in the Gulf of Mexico fell by around 60% or more, with no sustained recovery. Natural causes were ruled out, pointing to the spill.

In the first ROV survey of Argentina's Mar del Plata Submarine Canyon, scientists found litter, mostly plastic and fishing gear, down to 3,814 meters. Canyons act as funnels, channeling our waste into the deep, where it barely degrades and can entangle marine life.

Polymetallic nodules can generate oxygen in total darkness, no sunlight needed. As WAM explores oxygen dynamics along the West African margin, findings like this show how much we still don’t know about deep-sea systems.

Evidence of dark oxygen production at the abyssal seafloor - Nature Geoscience
Oxygen is generated abiotically at the abyssal seafloor in the presence of polymetallic nodules, potentially by seawater electrolysis, according to in situ chamber and ex situ incubation experiments.
