The deep sea - one of our planet’s most mysterious and vital ecosystems - is under imminent threat from deep-sea mining. As the International Seabed Authority meets to discuss regulations, it’s crucial that governments worldwide stand up for the health of our ocean. Deep-sea mining involves extracting minerals from the ocean floor, a process that can cause irreversible damage to fragile marine habitats and lead to the extinction of unique species. Moreover, disrupting these ecosystems can undermine the ocean’s ability to regulate our climate by storing carbon. By supporting a moratorium on deep-sea mining with the International Seabed Authority, governments and world leaders can take a stand for our blue planet and stop deep-sea mining.
