Noise from deep-sea mining carries an invisible risk for sea life, warn researchers.

Most animals in the Clarion-Clipperton zone (CCZ) are sensitive to sound, according to study.

This could impact the food chain and ecosystem relied upon by Latin American coastal communities.

37 countries launched the first ever global political coalition to reduce underwater noise pollution.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned that unregulated deep sea mining could turn ocean into lawless " Wild West ".

More than 30 countries, including several in Latin America , oppose extractive activity and call for a moratorium.

Opponents argue that high-impact industrial activity should not be allowed without solid scientific evidence to guarantee that there will be no irreversible damage.

Alejandro Olivera , Mexico representative of the Center for Biological Diversity , said, "The challenge now is to get humanity to agree to protect a heritage that belongs to everyone".
