Deep sea mining is a serious threat to the ocean's ecosystem and climate stability. In a poetic dialogue between oceanographer ‘Her Deepness’ Sylvia Earle and renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Deep Trouble explains how the ocean creates oxygen, sequesters carbon, regulates climate, and makes life possible on earth.
