Oceans cover more than 70% of Earth and drive weather, regulate temperature, and support life on this planet. Our oceans are a vast system of diverse and complex ecosystems and natural resources; and the health of the world’s oceans is inextricably tied to the health of our planet.
And amazingly, up to 95% of the ocean realm remains an unexplored mystery.

Why are we not burying habitats on ocean floors for living there?
Hey guys, so I was looking at the whole permanent settlement in the oceans debate and it occurred to me that all suggestions involve tin cans installed on the seabed. Obviously, the biggest deterrent to such an approach is that such structures would be subject to massive pressures, making them unfeasible.
But, what if they were buried under the seabed like those survival bunkers instead with the important stuff sticking out like in this picture? Won't that make the water pressure largely irrelevant?
My apologies in advance if its a stupid af question or if it has been repeated on here.
Thanks.

As Ocean Waters Warm, a Race to Breed Heat-Resistant Coral
Researchers are racing to breed corals that can survive increasingly severe ocean heat waves. But the genes that make corals more tolerant of heat might also make them more vulnerable to disease, less fertile, or slower growing. Read more.
