Susan Casey sheds light on the Clarion-Clipperton Zone—a 2-million-square-mile stretch of seafloor between Mexico and Hawaii that’s been carved up for deep-sea mining. In this clip, she explains how little we actually know about this region, why it holds staggering biodiversity, and how geopolitical and corporate interests are racing to exploit it. With mining rights issued under international law (which the U.S. hasn’t ratified), and new species being discovered on every dive, Casey warns that the plan to extract resources from the deep could have irreversible consequences.
