Mud plumes from deep-sea mining could stress out jellyfish. Really!

Alarmism and hysteria! Can you imagine the horrors for these creatures of the sea!

Perhaps jellyfish can just move away a short distance!

This research is only based on simulation!

How easy is it to prevent these plumes from forming?

Mud plumes from deep-sea mining could stress out jellyfish The marine critters produced more mucus and expressed genes indicating tissue damage when exposed to suspended sediments

Experimental mining plumes and ocean warming trigger stress in a deep pelagic jellyfish
