Little is known about the deep-sea; however, hydrothermal vents are some of the most biologically active deep-sea ecosystems, providing significant biodiversity and other ecosystem services that maintain the entire planet. The mining of SMS, which may commence within the decade (2020s), poses serious risk to hydrothermal vents as mining methods will likely require the destruction of active and\/or non-active vents, which will in turn affect these ecosystems and their services. The environmental impacts of mining SMS deposits must be carefully considered alongside the benefits from moving away from terrestrial mining before DSM is allowed to commence on the large scale.<\/p>\n<\/div><div style=\"text-align:left;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span \" style=\"--button_accent_color:#ffffff;--button_accent_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_border_hover_color:#ffffff;--button_gradient_top_color:var(--awb-color5);--button_gradient_bottom_color:var(--awb-color5);--button_gradient_top_color_hover:var(--awb-color4);--button_gradient_bottom_color_hover:var(--awb-color4);\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"View The Document\" aria-label=\"View The Document\" href=\"http:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/195\/2022\/07\/CAR-2022-Lauren-Geiser-Research-Paper.pdf\"><i class=\"fa-file-pdf fas button-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">View The Document<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cepmlp-annual-review-car","category-research-papers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23227"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23227\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23229,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23227\/revisions\/23229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/energyhubplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
