The Mediterranean deep sea is home to incredible life we still know little about.
We're calling on Mediterranean countries to extend the deep-sea trawl ban to below 800m to protect these critical ecosystems, biodiversity, and the future of Mediterranean fisheries.

Final from Mt. Olympus.
Proud of the fight, proud of the season, but the standard in Washington remains the same… Championships.
We’ll learn from it. We’ll reload. And we’ll be back. 🔱

The deep sea is home to a colorful array of marine life. 🌈
But now as the Trump admin. works to fast-track ocean mining, areas of this important ecosystem could be destroyed before we have a chance to understand it.

The deep sea is one of the most fragile parts of the planet, yet its future is at risk. 🪼
With the threat of #DeepSeaMining 🪸⛏️ & impacts unknown, States must implement a moratorium on this industry that could affect the health of our planet. 🌍
#DeepDay #DefendTheDeep 🦑
💙 Today is #DeepDay, a day to celebrate the deep ocean and stand up for its protection. As govts consider the future of the deep ocean, now is the time to support the growing calls for a global moratorium on deep sea mining.
Together, we can #DefendTheDeep.
#DSMC #StopDSM
🎉 It's nearly #DeepDay! Join the growing wave of momentum - from Indigenous leaders, youth movements, policymakers, businesses and ocean lovers all around the world - all saying "no" to deep-sea destruction.
Together, we are United to #DefendTheDeep 💙

At @UN_FAO_GFCM, the science is clear: Mediterranean deep-sea ecosystems are under threat & protecting them is vital. Extending the bottom trawling ban to below 800m has high ecological benefits & limited socio-economic impact. Time to turn science into protection. #DefendTheDeep
Deep‑sea ecosystems support unique biodiversity, help regulate the climate, and sustain fish populations and coastal livelihoods.
Protecting the #Mediterranean deep sea is essential. For marine life, for people, and for the future of our ocean.

💰 #DeepSeaMining is a high-risk gamble.
⚠️ Never proven at commercial scale
📉 Price drops could erase profits
🏦 ~80 financial institutions have raised concerns
As the @ISBAHQ Council starts today, the message is clear.

🌱 Is #DeepSeaMining needed for the #GreenTransition?
No - it’s a false solution.
🔋 New batteries reduce demand
♻️ Recycling & reuse are growing
📉 Smarter use could cut demand by 58%
Don’t let it distract from real solutions.

2/2: Pacific Civil society warns this puts the “how” before the “if” on deep-sea mining, risking Pacific sovereignty as geostrategic pressures grow. 📢

#AGRIFISH ends without tackling the root cause of the fishing sector’s woes: fish stocks still under pressure after decades of overfishing. Despite a legal duty to end overfishing by 2025, France, Italy & Spain won't reduce trawling days.

We urge @EU_Commission & @EUCouncil at #AGRIFISH to reduce fishing pressure on key species, like hake & deep-water shrimps, in the western Mediterranean & to protect the deep-sea habitats that support them from destructive fishing, benefitting coastal communities.

Deep-sea life in the Mediterranean doesn’t get a second chance.
We’re calling on @EU_Commission and @UN_FAO_GFCM to extend the #BottomTrawling ban to at least 800m and give these fragile ecosystems the protection they deserve. #DefendTheDeep
A new op-ed in @Oceano_mag by DSCC Executive Director @siankowen highlights a critical gap in the outcomes of COP30: the deep sea.
#COP30 #DefendTheDeep #DeepSea
COP30 elevated the ocean, bringing it closer to the heart of the global climate agenda, but the deep sea – everything below 200 metres and making up roughly 90% of the ocean – stayed buried in the margins. https://t.co/Wo2jcVyyg6
We were at the @UN_FAO_GFCM annual meeting urging stronger deep-sea protection in the Mediterranean. Pilot projects show the costs for fishers are minimal, yet countries missed a key chance to act.
The EU must lead & extend the trawl ban to at least 800m by 2026. #DefendTheDeep
