Abyssal epibenthic megafauna was used as one of biological indicators of the effects of anthropo-genic sediment disturbance in the Benthic Impact Experiment (BIE) carried out within 1994-1997 by the Interoceanmetal Joint Organization (IOM) in the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone (NE Pacif...
Background The possibility for commercial mining of deep-sea manganese nodules is currently under exploration in the abyssal Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone. Nematodes have potential for biomonitoring of the impact of commercial activity but the natural biodiversity is unknown. We investigate the feasibili...

The need to monitor environmental effects of mining activity can best be metwith a near-continuous presence of a research platform in the vicinity. The platform could be a ship or potentially a semi-submersible platform like those used in the offshore oil industry. Such a facility might be ...
fish checklist plankton survey polymetallic nodule mining Introduction The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), an abyssal area in the northeast Pacific, is of particular economic interest due to the high abundance of seafloor polymetallic nodules which contain large quantities of manganese, nickel, copper, ...
