研究查明了加拿大274个面临人类活动威胁的碳含量丰富的海底热点。 Study identifies 274 carbon-rich sea floor hotspots in Canada, facing threats from human activities.

维多利亚大学的一项新研究查明了加拿大海底274个碳含量丰富的热点,其中含有近110亿吨碳,相当于加拿大森林的一半。 A new University of Victoria study identifies 274 carbon-rich hotspots on Canada's sea floor, containing nearly 11 billion tonnes of carbon, equivalent to half of Canada's forests. 这些海底对于从大气中去除碳至关重要,面临海底捕捞、深海采矿、石油和天然气开采以及海洋建设的威胁。 These seabeds, crucial for removing carbon from the atmosphere, face threats from bottom-fishing, deep-sea mining, oil and gas extraction, and marine construction. 研究报告建议扩大海洋保护区,以保护这些碳含量高至2 500米深的地区,因为加拿大的目标是到2030年保护30%的海洋。 The study recommends expanding marine conservation areas to protect these carbon-rich areas, which extend up to 2,500 meters deep, as Canada aims to protect 30% of its oceans by 2030.
