BREAKING: Kānaka ‘Ōiwi (Native Hawaiians) and Greenpeace USA peacefully protested against the arrival of Hidden Gem, one of the world’s largest deep-sea mining vessels, as it entered Hawaiian waters off of Honolulu. ⁣

Deep sea mining can have devastating effects on the environment. If it is allowed to start, vast areas of the ocean floor will be stripped bare, which will destroy habitats and damage unique ecosystems beyond repair. The process could also disrupt carbon cycles, and the associated noise and pollution, including toxic particles dumped in shallower waters, could adversely affect marine life throughout the water column. This includes tuna fisheries, which are an essential source of food for many communities.⁣

Deep sea mining is not welcomed in Hawai’i. We will continue to fight back and #StopDeepSeaMining before it starts! #AoleDeepSeaMining
