Deep-sea biodiversity

Deep-sea biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms found in the ocean's depths, where sunlight is scarce and pressures are immense. This unique environment hosts a wide range of organisms, from strange-looking fish to bioluminescent creatures and ancient corals. Many of these species are still undiscovered and have adapted to extreme conditions, showcasing nature's resilience. Deep-sea ecosystems play a crucial role in global processes, such as carbon cycling, and understanding them can provide insights into the health of our planet and potential resources for medicine and technology.
