The article discusses the importance of remote seamounts as conservation priorities for pelagic wildlife. The pelagic ocean, which constitutes 99% of the global biosphere by volume, is experiencing a decline in fauna due to unsustainable fishing. Remote regions of the ocean that are less impacted by humans serve as refuges for heavily targeted species and offer valuable insights into ecological processes. Seamounts, in particular, are important for large pelagic animals but are often degraded due to fishing. Only a small percentage of seamounts have been surveyed and protected, making their conservation a significant opportunity. Well-designed and well-managed marine protected areas (MPAs) can reverse declines in ocean wildlife and enhance resilience to climate change. The protection of remote seamounts is crucial for sustaining pelagic wildlife populations and benefiting the species that rely on them. International collaboration among countries is also important for protecting valuable marine habitats. [Extracted from the article]
