Programs and organizations that are taking a procative role in helping to preserve Hydrothermal Vents:
1. InterRidge Workshops- this organization is working to spread awareness of the threat of Hydrothermal Vents. They made the first report to the scientific community about this to help stop the increasing human exploitation of them.
Overall, for the last twenty years, scientists have discussed the conservation of hydrothermal vents in the Oceanographic Community. It has been found that scientific activity may be causing the most damage to this habitat. There is an agreed code of practice in invesitgating Hydrothermal Vent sites, yet there is no legal agreement.
