In the exhibition area of #OOC10 I found an image of a sea mount on display from a Korean ocean survey company. Did I ever mention that at @oceanquest.bsky.social we love sea mounts?

The new German government has published it’s future work program. Excited to read that:
β€žGermany supports with its partners a moratorium on Deep Sea Mining and supports Deep Sea Research.β€œ
