'Much of the deep sea lies beyond the jurisdiction of any one nation. This area is known as the High Seas and makes up half our planet. The High Seas belong to all of us. Rather than start a new era of colonialism, laying claim to the treasures of the deep, we must designate the deep-sea a sanctuary for peace and science! Join me in being a voice for the ocean.' - Farah Obaidullah

The ancient, mystical home of marine life is a source of sustenance and vitality for our world. Yet, the shadows of deep-sea mining threaten to unravel this delicate web of life, bringing about irreparable harm to the very foundation of our existence.
|
But hope gleams on the horizon, as a long time champion of the ocean, Farah Obaidullah, is embarking on a journey of empowerment and determination. Her voyage will weave across the western coast of the Americas, from the peaks of Alaska to the shores of Chile, driven by the audacious goal to prevent the next climate disaster.
THE MISSION:
CALLING ALL LEADERS TO SUPPORT
A MORATORIUM ON DEEP-SEA MINING
|
On her voyage Farah will engage with stakeholders from universities, fisheries associations, tech and EV companies and conservation groups rallying support for a global moratorium on Deep-Sea Mining.
Along the way and between stops, folks, including local, regional and international celebrities will join Farah to discuss what the ocean means to them, questions they have, poems / art / songs they want to share. We will have experts sharing their knowledge on why we don’t need deep-sea mining and why we can’t afford it. Our exchange will be informative, entertaining and inspiring. The journey will be chronicled on YouTube, reaching far and wide to inspire the hearts of many. |

WHY THE PACIFIC?The Pacific is ground zero of deep-sea mining. If allowed to go ahead, mining will first occur on the High Seas in an area between Mexico and Hawaii, known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Communities, local authorities and businesses along the Pacific rim have a vested interest in safeguarding the largest ocean on earth - their backyard.
