@article {57885, title = {Using Soundscapes to Assess Deep-Sea Benthic Ecosystems}, year = {2019}, abstract = {

Targets of deep-sea mining commonly coincide with biodiversity hotspots, such as hydrothermal vents. The resilience of these ecosystems relies on larval dispersal, which may be directed by habitat-specific soundscapes. We urge for a global effort to implement soundscape as a conservation tool to assess anthropogenic disruption to deep-sea benthic ecosystems.
