These cephalopods --they’re technically not squids-- live in the deep ocean with millions of other species, some of which are little-known and on which little study has been done.

Robison says human activities threaten all of these.

“They are threatened by ocean warming, decreasing oxygen, pollution, overfishing, industrialization and dozens of other changes taking place in the deep. We have a responsibility to learn all we can about these amazing animals and to protect them from the greatest danger to life in the deep: the human species.”

While the sea floor has had significant study, he points out little exploration has been done on this water above the deep floor.

Sigh. Once again. Data BEFORE accusations. If only to avoid the appearance having a presupposed outcome. Gee, I wonder why certain branches of Science are in the midst of a credibility crisis...

“They are threatened by ocean warming, *decreasing oxygen,* pollution, overfishing, industrialization and dozens of other changes taking place in the deep. “
