The Trump administration is moving toward approving permits for deep-sea mining to enhance U.S. access to critical minerals, vital for electronics and defense industries. This push has raised environmental concerns over potential irreversible damage to ocean biodiversity. The initiative is part of a broader effort to diversify mineral supply chains, particularly as Chinese mineral exports decrease.

A research team from the University of Bern has shown in a large-scale field experiment that populations of the same fish species can be much more fine-tuned to their local environments than previously thought. Habitats that appear nearly identical to us can therefore make a decisive difference in evolution. This hidden diversity is not only key to understanding how biodiversity arises, but also has important implications for its conservation.

Hong Kong, September 14: Monitoring marine life helps scientists track ecosystem health, improve conservation, and manage fisheries. A promising approach is environmental DNA (eDNA), which refers to trace genetic material naturally released into the water by organisms, such as skin cells, mucus and excreta. By analysing eDNA in water samples, scientists can determine which species are present in a given body of water without the need to physically capture or observe the organisms. This method is of great significance for monitoring marine ecosystems and conserving biodiversity. In practical applications, however, DNA concentrations in seawater are extremely low, making it difficult for traditional membranes to capture it effectively.
