Economic and political warfare has already begun in the abyss.
The energy transition has an Achilles heel: it requires staggering quantities of natural resources.
Experimental vehicles are testing dredging methods, waiting for the authorities to finalize a Mining Code and open the floodgates to commercial extraction.
Analysts have calculated that a single deep-sea mine could bring in $1 billion a year.
But this mining could exacerbate the climate crisis and cause irreversible damage to marine biodiversity.
We now know that the deep sea is home to life found nowhere else.
Three women decide to join forces and fight to ban deep-sea mining and save the abyss.
They will find in their path companies willing to do anything to make a fortune, and an industry-ridden regulatory body.
