Meet Chrysomallon squamiferum, the volcano snail! 🐚🔥

This deep-sea wonder lives on hydrothermal vents, armored with iron scales. It hosts symbiotic bacteria and supports unique vent life.

⚠️ Already endangered, it faces greater risk if deep-sea mining expands!

Underwater kelp forests are losing a turf war In warming coastal seas, a crucial ecosystem is being replaced by ‘turfs’ of red algae, which release chemicals that suppress kelp survival.
