Using a remotely operated vehicle, the research team photographed the deep-sea life and took samples for future studies. One of the species captured on camera was a cup-shaped glass sponge, an animal believed to have the longest lifespan of any creature on the planet. They can live up to 15,000 years.

They act as ocean floor vacuum cleaners, and specialize in finding sediment that has passed through the least number of stomachs,” Dahlgren said.of rare metals used in solar panels, electric car batteries and other green technologies is planned. Several countries and companies are waiting for authorization to extract these metals bound to mineral nodules lying on the ocean floor.
