🚨Highlight from #UNGA: Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬are the 39th nation to call for a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining.

Prime Minister Browne: "No one should mortgage the ocean floor to pay short-term bills."

Who will be the 40th to join this global movement and stand up for the ocean?

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

BREAKING🚨: Luxembourg🇱🇺 becomes the 33rd country calling for a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining.

With science, markets, and public opinion against it, the message is clear: DSM is unwanted, unnecessary, and unacceptable.

The US-France roadmap ⬇ follows a France 🇫🇷 and China 🇨🇳 declaration in May ensuring that before any #DeepSeaMining activity, appropriate rules are in place, in line with the best science and the ecosystem and precautionary approaches.

The DSCC welcomes this announcement just weeks before the July ISA Assembly & urges the US government to join the 26 States supporting a #DeepSeaMining moratorium or pause in order to ensure effective protection of the ocean

Today in a joint declaration,
@EmmanuelMacron 🇫🇷 & @JoeBiden 🇺🇸 committed to take a precautionary approach to #DeepSeaMining

It's #DeepDay!🥳 The #DeepSea makes up 90% of the marine environment, but just 5% of the ocean is estimated to have been explored.

There is so much to discover in the #DeepSea, but we do know it is critical for the functioning of our planet. @siankowen https://t.co/cP6MqlbVPU

BREAKING: As @ISBAHQ Council gets into its 2nd week, President @EmmanuelMacron calls for a ban on #DeepSeaMining at #COP27 -"La France soutient l'interdiction de toute exploitation des grands fonds marins et la portera dans les enceintes internationales. J’assume cette position."

[Sandrine Polti @SandrinePolti]

#DeepSeaMining is not wanted. Germany🇩🇪, Spain🇪🇸, Costa Rica🇨🇷, Panama🇵🇦, Ecuador🇪🇨 New Zealand🇳🇿 Samoa🇼🇸 Fiji🇫🇯 Chile🇨🇱 Micronesia 🇫🇲and Palau🇵🇼 have all called for a pause or moratorium. Join the movement for a moratorium today! https://t.co/TvAhGRE1ET #ISA27 #DefendTheDeep

À la question "est-ce que la France portera un moratoire sur l'exploitation minière des fonds marins ?", voici la réponse de l'Ambassadrice qui représentera la France à la COP biodiversité👇
Pourtant @oguyonvarch ne défend pas du tout cette position en ce moment-même à l'AIFM !

[EU Maritime & Fish @EU_MARE]

Deep sea fishing: there has been no negotiation & there is no change in the regulation. In recent exchanges,
EU MARE has simply clarified the text once again: all 87 polygons are closed to all bottom gears in depths of > 400 meters as of 9/10.

🌊 Face à @nthierry, Christophe Béchu bégaye un peu et tourne autour du pot.

Le gouvernement serait opposé à l'exploitation minière des #fondsmarins... mais travaille sa prise de position à l'AIFM.

Pourtant cette prise de position est simple: il faut soutenir un moratoire !

[Nicolas THIERRY @nthierry]

J'interpellais ajd @ChristopheBechu sur l'exploitation minière des fonds marins. Des études montrent les conséquences dévastatrices de ces pratiques sur la biodiv, le carbone. Nous devons prendre des précautions. La France doit défendre un moratoire et interdire ces exploitations

[Caroline Roose 🌍 🐟 🌻 @CarolineRooseEU]

Stoppons la course à l'exploitation minière des grands fonds marins.
La @EU_Commission a une position ambitieuse.
230 parlementaires de 50 pays ont signé l'appel pour un moratoire que j'ai lancé avec @RRegenvanu et @marietouss1
Aux États et à la France d'agir !

BREAKING NEWS: An EU 🇪🇺 announcement by @VSinkevicius, @EU_MARE, @EU_Commission for Environment, Oceans and Fisheries today will close 16,000+ sq. km of the #DeepSea to bottom fishing.

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

What a week it's been! We welcome the result of the Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture vote to close vulnerable areas to fishing gears which touch the seabed and applaud the @EU_Commission for steering this process to a successful conclusion.

[Marie Toussaint 🌍🌏 @marietouss1]

A Lisbonne, avec des parlementaires du monde entier nous nous unissons pour demander un moratoire international sur l’exploitation des #fondsmarins !

Un mouvement se lève, pour bloquer les portes des océans aux industries minières. Et ce n’est que le début… #LookDown

Here are some MEP #DeepSea defenders against #DeepSeaMining! #SaveOurOcean!

Fantastic to hear @Europarl_EN reiterate its call for a moratorium on destructive #DeepSeaMining. @VSinkevicius, #ENVI Council, when will the Commission and member states act and call for a pause @ISBAHQ and support a moratorium?

We call on the @UN Secretary General to urgently commission an independent review focused on how we can achieve proper protection for the #DeepSea and its vital role in #Climate mitigation and food security:
