As interest in deep-sea mining grows, studies addressing the ecological impacts of mining activities and sustainable resource management practices are becoming more prominent.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Fishery Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional fishery practices and assessments has seen a decline, as more studies are integrating ecological and environmental factors into their analyses. - Static Biodiversity Assessments:
Studies that provide only static biodiversity assessments without considering temporal changes or ecological interactions are becoming less common, indicating a shift toward more dynamic and integrative approaches. - Historical Sediment Analysis:
While still relevant, the focus on historical sediment analysis as a standalone topic is waning in favor of studies that combine historical data with contemporary ecological insights and modeling.
