The DOSI Minerals Working Group brings global, independent expertise to inform policy on science, environment & ecosystem-based management. Want to help connect deep-ocean science with policy? Join the DOSI network today:

In recent decades, our understanding of #DeepSea ecosystems has grown enormously. These habitats are rich, diverse—and vulnerable. #DeepSeaMining has the potential to permanently alter these ecosystems. Sound science must be at the heart of any governance framework.

Deep-Sea Mining: What's the Story?.Debate around deep-sea mining has been ongoing since the 1960s. As interest grows, so does the need to understand what’s at stake. 🌊.📽️ Watch the video: #DeepSeaMining #DeepOcean

DOSI is contributing science-based perspectives to #ISA30 which are essential for developing coherent, science-informed rules that consider any potential #DeepSea activities. Learn more about DOSI and our Minerals Working Group here:

Delegates will discuss:.🔹 Environmental safeguards.🔹 Financial architecture.🔹 Governance questions.This includes frameworks for monitoring, compensation funds, test mining, royalties, and dispute resolution. #ISA30.

🌊 This week, DOSI is in Kingston, Jamaica for Part II of the 30th Session of the International Seabed Authority (ISA) #ISA30 . The focus? Continuing negotiations on #DeepSeaMining regulations—a pivotal moment for the future of the #DeepOcean.

Episode 3 of Think Deep! is OUT NOW 🐙. Hear from Natalya Gallo why the #DeepSea is so important for climate regulation. Listen now on YouTube: Spotify: Apple Podcasts:.

DOSI will be attending The 33rd Session of the IOC Assembly starts today and runs until the 3rd July in Paris. DOSI will be engaging with discussions particularly relevant to the deep ocean, its role in the climate system, and the governance frameworks needed to protect it.

Despite extreme environments and low fecundities, both species show asynchronous reproduction and continuous gametogenesis, key adaptations to life in unstable vent habitats. 📸 Black smoker hydrothermal vents in the Aurora Vent Field.

🔍 A new study from Christopher MacNeil, Maria Baker, Jon Copley, Paul Tyler, Ana Hilario & Eva Ramirez-Llodra sheds light on the reproductive biology of two deep-sea gastropods from hydrothermal vents in the Southern and Central Arctic Oceans. 👉
