Next week in Jamaica, @ISBAHQ will meet to discuss regulations that could open up our ocean to deep-sea mining. The deep sea is the 💙 of our planet & helps make life on Earth possible. We must #KeepItInTheDeep & say NO to #DeepSeaMining.
Follow @DeepSeaConserve for updates.
OUT TODAY: A brand new report on #BottomTrawling by leading fisheries experts, including our @DanJSteadman, gathers data on bottom trawling’s impacts and suggests constructive ways to #TransformTrawling.

#IUCNcongress has just passed Motion 069 calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. An overwhelming majority of 81 governments and government agencies voted in favour of the motion. This is a momentous outcome for ocean conservation. #defendthedeep#deepseamining 🌊
Delighted to see this response to @CCI_Cambridge#DefiningDestructiveFishing project from @OneOceanHub. "It is essential to address destructive fishing in a rounded manner, emphasising interconnection between environmental, social and economic impacts" https://t.co/mUM5arwkkZ
