Not saying we should mine this but definitely not a critical source of oxygen for humans. Most oxygen is created through photosynthesis.

Yea but its likely critical for the local fish and such

Yeah I recall hearing about this and it's a horrible idea to mine these

Definitely! Peak and Plunge podcast did a really good episode on deep sea mining. Last week tonight also did a great EP on deep sea mining.

Long story short - it will decimate all sea floor life, and is likely to eradicate many currently unknown species.
