In the exhibition area of #OOC10 I found an image of a sea mount on display from a Korean ocean survey company. Did I ever mention that at @oceanquest.bsky.social we love sea mounts?

The new German government has published it’s future work program. Excited to read that: „Germany supports with its partners a moratorium on Deep Sea Mining and supports Deep Sea Research.“ I could have not asked for more alignment with our @oceanquest.bsky.social ambitions. 🌊

Land mountains are subject to weathering and erosion from wind, rain, and ice, which can gradually reduce their steepness over time. Seamounts, being underwater, are less affected by these erosive forces, allowing them to maintain steeper slopes. (Derp Seek)

I agree with the sentiment. But if large countries have a central energy provider that „company“ shows up. In countries with decentralized energy providers it will not but the sum total of CO2 emissions is no different.
