Скачать или смотреть A Silent Warning From the Deep Ocean

Deep beneath the ocean’s surface, scientists expected to find life — but instead, they found silence.
In a long-term deep-sea experiment, researchers placed whale bones on the ocean floor, creating what’s known as a “whale fall.” Normally, these sites attract zombie worms — bizarre bone-eating creatures that play a critical role in recycling nutrients in the deep ocean.
But after nearly ten years of monitoring, the zombie worms never appeared.
This shocking absence has scientists worried that expanding low-oxygen zones, driven by climate change, may be quietly disrupting deep-sea ecosystems. When the ocean’s natural recyclers disappear, entire food webs can begin to collapse — without anyone noticing.
This video explores what zombie worms are, why their disappearance matters, and what this silent warning from the deep ocean could mean for the future of life on Earth.
