The Pacific coast is much more “alive” than previously thought.<\/p>\n
As we as a species advance, technology has been evolving along with us, sometimes unearthing amazing discoveries that can forever alter our understanding of the planet we call home. Like a mechanic with a fancy new part for your car, technology can make our lives so simple<\/strong> if we allow it to do so.<\/p>\n However, recent findings have come at the cost of our advancement as a society.<\/p>\n Humans have come a long way in a relatively short time. <\/p>\n Advancements in technology have connected us like never before. Bringing our species from painting simple outlines in caves to the more instant gratification from the internet<\/strong> in no time at all. Darwin would be proud.<\/p>\n But as technology and our industrial ambitions create new opportunities, they also simultaneously affect the creatures and critters that we share our planet with.<\/p>\n Is it a viable option to sacrifice life for tech?<\/strong> Certainly not. But that has not stopped some of us from reaching into the most fragile ecosystems on Earth in search of the next step forward in our progress.<\/p>\n What we now know is that our progress as a species comes at the cost of other animals, as we regularly disturb their natural habitats.<\/p>\n Deep-sea mining has become a more regular trend that has swept thousands of critters of the ocean floor into a world completely alien to them. How do we advance while keeping a close eye on the environment<\/strong> as a whole?<\/p>\n Like a detective studying a crime scene, we have been paying more and more attention to our world and the universe as a whole.<\/p>\n One major sector that has benefited from technological advancements<\/strong> is the military. And not just our military, either. <\/a>But that road will take us down a path of self-destruction.<\/p>\n As one study has recently found, the secrets buried deep in the oceans<\/a> of the world are becoming a little easier to unravel.<\/p>\n Even the more trivial parts of our lives have become so complex, it beggars belief. The incredible advancements in the cyberworld<\/a> we now live in have, in some cases, created more problems than answers<\/strong>, with cyber attacks becoming an all too common occurrence.<\/p>\n But as we deepen our understanding of our surroundings, a recent expedition in the Pacific has found an incredible array of undiscovered creatures.<\/a><\/p>\n A recent study, Hundreds of new species found in a hidden world beneath the Pacific, <\/em>published in Nature Ecology & Evolution<\/a>, has revealed a “hidden city” of creatures.<\/strong><\/p>\n A team of scientists has discovereda “hidden city” right under the ocean.<\/p>\n The findings were a “happy accident” as the team was studying the potential effects of deep-sea mining on the Pacific seabed. What they found will have far-reaching implications, as the team found over 100 new living animal species<\/strong> deep in the underground water party taking place.<\/p>\n Among the critters discovered are:<\/p>\n Overall, the exploration unearthed over 160 species, 50 of which are a first for the scientific community.<\/strong> The findings underscore the need to protect our deep-sea animals, especially as there are thousands yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n The expedition revealed to us that the sea is far more diverse and complex<\/a> than we ever thought, and needs to be protected at all costs.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Pacific coast is much more “alive” than previously thought.

This “hidden city” has been flying under the radar<\/h2>\n
