Standing with #OceanPeople of every description to ensure the integrity of our greatest giver. Pacific lead @deepseaconserve to #StopDeepSeaMining.

[philmccabe @philoceans]

Great to see Solvenia supporting a DSM moratorium. An appropriate response to unethical pressure from a single corporate mining entity in the context of certain and serious ocean impacts and little scientific knowledge.
Hoping more support at #UNOC3

#Slovenia 🇸🇮 supports moratorium on deep-sea mining. Premature commencement of commercial exploitation of deep-sea resources may cause irreparable ecological damage and undermine efforts to achieve sustainable ocean governance and preserve endangered species' habitats.

🇸🇮 calls for continued scientific research into the long-term effects of deep-sea mining to ensure informed decision-making which will prioritise environmental integrity and responsible resource governance.

As #COP16Colombia wraps up, governments must uphold decades-long commitments to protect our deep sea.

We need bold action to protect seamounts from destructive practices & to secure a global #DeepSeaMining moratorium 🌊

A major win for the ocean! 🚨 The #NordicCouncil, with support across political lines, just voted for a #Moratorium on #DeepSeaMining. Iceland and Norway, it’s time to #ProtectTheDeep 🌊! @nordenen #nrsession #nrpol #nordiskråd https://t.co/29pKxuSdIp

[Simon Holmström @Simon4Nature]

@nordenen Mariane Paviasen Jensen commented: "We from Greenland, we are especially worried about Norway’s plans on deep-sea mining as we can imagine it can have enormous consequences also for our waters. We cannot accept that Norway has plans that impact other Nordic seas."

[Pacific Blue Line @pacblueline]

The #PIFLM53 ended with the "Ocean Care – Deep Sea Mining Talanoa" event, where Pacific Island nations expressed deep concerns about seabed mining. Ocean warriors made it clear: protecting our oceans must remain a top priority for everyone.

[philmccabe @philoceans]

Science says #DSM would cause widespread and permanent Oceanic harm. Common wisdom says don't do it until you understand the env and what's at stake.
The CEO of $TMC, is just that. He talks to and for shareholders.

As #PIFLM53 approaches, Hon. Ralph Regenvanu reminds us: the Pacific Ocean isn't just a resource—it's our identity and heritage. Calling on leaders to prioritize ocean protection and preservation for our collective future. 🌊

🚨The delegate for 🇦🇹Austria – who was present at the inaugural meeting of the ISA in 1994 – told the #ISA29 Assembly that his country supports a precautionary pause on #DeepSeaMining bringing the number of States who #DefendTheDeep to 32!

[philmccabe @philoceans]

Great to witness momentum building for a moratorium on deep sea mining in international waters @ISBAHQ .
Huge thanks to political leaders paving the way!

Yesterday in Kingston, #ISA29 saw high-level representatives come together to discuss precautionary action and the need for a halt to #DeepSeaMining

We thank the Palau🇵🇼, Vanuatu🇻🇺, Germany🇩🇪, Chile🇨🇱 & France 🇫🇷 for hosting this event to #DefendTheDeep

See highlights below!

[philmccabe @philoceans]

Huge thank you to @RRegenvanu for taking a leading role on the global stage resisting the push to open our great Ocean to #DeepSeaMining !
We need more political voices from the Pacific standing up to #DefendTheDeep and #stopdeepseamining before it's too late.

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

@sofia_tse Minister @RRegenvanu of Vanuatu 🇻🇺 has come to the #ISA29 Assembly for the first time to discuss a General Policy for the protection of the marine environment and to #DefendTheDeep from destructive #DeepSeaMining.

Stay tuned for updates on this today!

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

The #ISA29 Council meeting wraps up with no #DeepSeaMining authorized and the Mining Code still far from finalized – a setback for mining companies eager to exploit the ocean.

Join us next week for the ISA Assembly as we continue to #DefendTheDeep.

Consent by brute force?
Wannabe seabed miner TTR chair Eggers tells The Listener he’ll sue the govt if it doesn't fast-track consent to trash the ocean. After 3 courts threw out his consent & TTR walked away fm EPA hearings.
His belligerence shld be a big 🚩🚩🚩for this govt

[Deep Sea Conservation Coalition @DeepSeaConserve]

Today @OurOceanGreece, the governments of Palau🇵🇼, Costa Rica🇨🇷, France🇫🇷, Spain🇪🇸, Vanuatu🇻🇺, Chile🇨🇱, Germany🇩🇪, Ireland🇮🇪 and Brazil🇧🇷 reiterated their support for a pause on #DeepSeaMining and called on all countries to join the fight before it's too late for our ocean🌊

@NoDeepSeaMining @SwissRe $TMC shareholders should take note of this and the growing number finance institutions blacklisting #DeepSeaMining related ventures.

Your CEOs spin has been proven, time and again, to be just that. And those who do their homework can come to no other conclusion.
#justsayin

[philmccabe @philoceans]

@ISBAHQ must not rush the adoption of inadequate regulations that could pave the way to significant and irreversible harm to the ocean. Dozens of issues remain outstanding and must be addressed. Implement a #deepseamining moratorium.

NZ Fisheries Minister Shane Jones, with ties to the fishing industry, abandons agreed conservation proposal on bottom trawling in biodiversity hotspots at international fisheries meeting.

[philmccabe @philoceans]

For the good of the Ocean and the people and economies that rely on healthy fish stocks, fisheries management bodies must take note of the potential impacts of #deepseamining.
Thank you @TeIpukareaSoc for raising the this at #WCPFC tuna commission.
