Say "No" to
Deep-Sea Mining

Hundreds of scientists are calling for a halt to this industry​

Deep-sea mining is an emerging industry that will cause irreversible damage to life in the deep ocean, will have detrimental consequences to the systems in the ocean that sustain us, and risks disturbing locked-away carbon. ​
The metal rich nodules the miners seek have taken millions of years to form, providing essential habitat to deep-sea animals. Life in the deep is slow growing, with fish older than your grandmother and corals reaching several thousands of years old. 
The deep-sea cannot be regenerated and operations are too costly to be monitored by independent parties. All this will happen in an area that does not belong to any one nation and therefore belongs to all of us.
Studies show we can reduce our demand for new metals by going circular and recovering metals from waste streams. Tech and electric vehicle companies are developing new technologies that don't require metals from the deep-sea.  ​​ ​

Major corporations are saying NO to deep-sea mining

The growing resistance to this destructive industry has led 25 countries to call for a ban or moratorium
on deep-sea mining. 

We must build on this momentum and make sure that life in the deep-sea is left to thrive in peace.
