flag Study identifies 274 carbon-rich sea floor hotspots in Canada, facing threats from human activities.

flag A new University of Victoria study identifies 274 carbon-rich hotspots on Canada's sea floor, containing nearly 11 billion tonnes of carbon, equivalent to half of Canada's forests. flag These seabeds, crucial for removing carbon from the atmosphere, face threats from bottom-fishing, deep-sea mining, oil and gas extraction, and marine construction. flag The study recommends expanding marine conservation areas to protect these carbon-rich areas, which extend up to 2,500 meters deep, as Canada aims to protect 30% of its oceans by 2030.
