There is a lot we don’t know about the deep ocean that could potentially be useful for our current problems. I’m sure there are billions of species of bacteria down there that survive in a much different environment than the surface that could potentially be used to fix things up here. My girlfriend is studying bacteria that live off of sulfur instead of oxygen. Imagine one that can be replicated super fast to eat plastic and put out O2. Who knows. We’ll never know if we kill them.
