🦋 🐠 🐙🐌 Natural History Museum scientists discovered almost 200 new species in 2024! Among those were deep-sea amphipods, whose habitat is threatened by industrial mining plans. ⛏️ 🪸 The discovery is part of wider efforts to understand the deep-sea, which can then inform where marine protected areas should go. Because protecting our #ocean starts with understanding it. 🌊 #DefendTheDeep #NaturalHistoryMuseum #Conservation #DeepSea https://lnkd.in/eVcGkfn9
