The Clarion-Clipperton Zone is a vast 2.3 million square-mile region located between Hawaii, Kiribati and Mexico in the central and eastern Pacific. It is regulated by the International Seabed Authority.
Researchers say they have identified more than 5,000 new deep-sea species living in a planned mining zone of the Pacific Ocean.
The study’s lead author is Muriel Rabone, a deep-sea ecologist at the Natural History Museum in London. She, along with eight others,. According to the study's authors, the global surge in demand for metals such as cobalt and nickel has created unprecedented interest in deep-sea habitats with mineral resources, like the CCZ.
Authors of the study said the rapid growth in taxonomic outputs and data availability for the region over the last decade allowed them to conduct this first comprehensive synthesis of CCZ benthic metazoan biodiversity for all faunal size classes.
