HONOLULU, Hawaii, July 9 (TNSjou) -- The University of Hawaii issued the following news release:
A study on underwater noise pollution from seabed mining operations found that noise from one mine alone could travel approximately 500 kilometers (roughly 311 miles) in gentle weather conditions, which could affect the understudied species that live in the deep sea--the largest habitat on Earth. There could also be cumulative impacts where multiple mines operate.
