Scientists have identified 24 new species of amphipod crustaceans in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a Pacific seabed region the size of the United States at the center of the deep-sea mining debate. Among them is an entirely new superfamily, Mirabestioidea — a previously unknown evolutionary branch equivalent to discovering a new mammal order.

The study, published in February 2026, documents a 37% decline in animal abundance wherever mining equipment touched the seafloor. It's the first systematic look at what commercial extraction would destroy.
