Climate meets Oceans, result: protect them both to protect either. #ProtectOurOceans

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

Groundbreaking Advisory Opinion by @ITLOS_TIDM confirms it: Greenhouse gases harm our oceans. States must reduce GHGs to protect our seas, safeguard communities and preserve biodiversity #ITLOSAO #ClimateJustice #ProtectOurOceans https://t.co/R1koYkSpZq

Would-be deep sea miners The Metals Company has launched legal proceedings against @Greenpeace for an ongoing (130+ hours!) peaceful protest at sea in the Pacific Ocean, in an attempt to silence environmental concerns about deep sea mining 1/

Feeding fish to farmed fish = taking food security of the Global South and fattening the plastic wrapped supermarket cuts of salmon for the forks of the Global North 🌐

"I did the math and deep sea mining just doesn’t work ... There’s no ‘just’ anything when you’re at 4,000 meters in the ocean. Everything breaks. Everything is difficult"

A pause on seabed mining is legally required by the @UN Law of the Sea, legal experts conclude.

If permitted, #DeepSeaMining would be devastating for our ocean, putting thousands of species at risk before we can even begin to understand them.

"Participants at international negotiations on the future of #DeepSeaMining are banned from staging protests ... or using parody and satire to draw attention to their cause, under threat of being ejected from the talks." A little draconian, @ISBAHQ! https://t.co/8B3sVDIPVK

Orcanize! 🏴🌊

Imagine trumpeting about the search for new species while also planning to mine them to oblivion… One thousand reasons indeed to #StopDeepSeaMining

[International Seabed Authority @ISBAHQ]

🆕 The “One Thousand Reasons” campaign opens the door for collaboration on ISA’s commitment to describing at least 1000 species new to science by 2030.

The activists determined to save the seabed: @MikeSegalov joined Pacific campaigners, scientists & Greenpeace at deep sea mining negotiations to dive into “a threat, continental in scale, that until recently nobody was even talking about”

logical ain’t it #StopDeepSeaMining

[Todd Woody @greenwombat]

My latest: With the fate of fragile & biodiverse deep sea ecosystems at stake, the International Seabed Authority is "sleepwalking" into perilous territory: Accepting license applications to strip-mine the seabed without environmental regulations in place. https://t.co/e9aQ4vvRcx

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

Under pressure! https://t.co/xiFDnC6zmE

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

In the next installment of You Couldn’t Make This Shit Up, is it possible that @ISBAHQ self-identifies as the Irresponsible Seabed Authority..? Acceptance is the first step on the road to recovery!👇🧵explaining the tussle between @Greenpeace and the ISA.

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

We need to #StopDeepSeaMining — even if the International Seabed Authority gets our billboard taken down.

This message was displayed near the ISA meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, where governments debate whether this destructive industry can go ahead. RT so all can see!

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

excellent 🧵👇 about what’s been happening to #stopdeepseamining around #ISA28 this week

[Louisa Casson @LouisaCasson]

I’m at the deep sea mining negotiations this week as things really hot up: will governments stand up to protect the oceans or unleash a dangerous new industry across half the surface of the planet? #ISA28 🧵 1/

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

✊🏼

[Greenpeace International @Greenpeace]

💥 ACTION - While governments are discussing whether to allow deep sea mining or not, the industry is moving ahead regardless. We are taking action at sea to say NO to deep sea mining. #StopDeepSeaMining.

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

Breaking: Māori activists are literally in the waters of their moana to defend it and @Greenpeace questions the industry forging ahead while governments discuss whether to #StopDeepSeaMining at #ISA28 https://t.co/CWxkFCv2mb

[An Lambrechts @lambrechtsan]

After about one week of @ISBAHQ meetings, it’s clear that proponents of #DeepSeaMining are having an increasingly hard time convincing the world that we need this destructive industry. A little thread. 1/

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

Vanuatu announces support for a precautionary pause on deep sea mining while @ISBAHQ kicks journalists out of the room at #ISA28… conspiracy or coincidence? Not a good look to hide negotiations on the fate of deep sea ecosystems from the media! #StopDeepSeaMining

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

New public interest advertising around the #ISA28 meeting in Jamaica. Is the Irresponsible sorry International Seabed Authority a regulator or a speculator? Guess we’ll find out! #StopDeepSeaMining

[Susannah Compton @SHRDCompton]

Worth keeping an eye on this blow-up at #ISA28. Is @ISBAHQ a regulator or a speculator? #StopDeepSeaMining https://t.co/swEAq9pGAY
