🚨 Deep-sea mining would be devastating and a financial dead end.
We urge the ISA to #DefendTheDeep:
⏸️ Adopt a moratorium until science proves no harm
❌ Reject efforts to rush a mining code
🛡️ Defend multilateralism

A judge concluded today that the Australian government “did not engage with or give real or genuine consideration to the best available science" when setting emission reduction targets.

Although the legal case was lost, this is a moral victory for all victims of climate change.

Current legal frameworks can’t protect the oceans from deep-sea mining and the negative impacts on humankind The U.S. shift to domestic seabed mining highlights weak international protections, flawed International Seabed Authority (ISA) oversight, and growing calls for reform.

Today we have "Current legal frameworks can’t protect the oceans from deep-sea mining and the negative impacts on humankind" by @suereid.bsky.social

Coastal economies rely on NOAA, from Maine to Florida, Texas and Alaska – even if they don’t realize it NOAA protects coastal ecosystems, supports fisheries, combats invasive species, restores coral reefs, and leads climate research vital to the U.S. economy.

This conversation will be based on Keiner's article, "Coastal economies rely on NOAA, from Maine to Florida, Texas and Alaska – even if they don’t realize it" - niche-canada.org/2025/04/25/c...
