How do insufficient environmental regulations and the pursuit of deep-sea mining contribute to the degradation of ocean health?

These issues connect to broader unsustainable practices, including a lack of effective marine protection policies and the expansion of deep-sea mining, driven by the demand for battery minerals like lithium and cobalt. This mirrors Jules Verne's prescient vision of underwater mining in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas.

How is climate change affecting hurricane intensity and patterns, and what are the resulting consequences for coastal regions?

Climate change is intensifying hurricanes, making them stronger and slower-moving. Research indicates a 17% deceleration of US hurricanes since the early 1900s and an 8% per decade increase in the odds of reaching Category 3 strength or higher since the late 1970s. These changes lead to more prolonged and destructive impacts.
