This is a battle we cannot afford to lose. If we allow this to happen, we may never be able to undo the damage. The #ocean has been taken for granted for too long, but we can still act, now.

Thanks to a legal #loophole in #USLaw, deep-sea mining in international waters has just become one step closer to reality, and the consequences for #MarineEcosystems could be catastrophic.

In short: US companies can apply for #mining rights in international waters, essentially bypassing international environmental regulations and protections meant to safeguard the ocean. This is a huge step towards the industrial #exploitation of the #DeepSea, which remains one of the last pristine frontiers on Earth.

And it’s not just a legal technicality, this is an environmental disaster in the making!

The #DeepOcean is home to fragile #ecosystems, unique #species, and critical #CarbonSinks that help regulate global #climate. #Mining the ocean floor will destroy these ecosystems and release toxic #pollutants, leading to irreparable damage to ocean #biodiversity.

We know this is a longer post, but understanding the full context is crucial. The fact that #companies can now exploit this #loophole in #InternationalWaters

Explanatory graphic of a ship - production support vessel - connected to three machines with long pipes. First one in 800 - 2500 metres deep for cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts. The second in 1000- 4000 metres deep for polymetallic sulphides and the third one in 4000- 6000 metres deep for polymetallic nodules. Deep-sea mining is coming. And the U.S. is about to open the floodgates. The Metals Company (TMC), a controversial deep-sea mining corporation, is applying for permits under US mining law, a loophole that could allow them to exploit thr seabed in international waters.

The floodgates are open for #corporations to push forward with deep-sea mining projects. The potential for widespread environmental destruction is overwhelming, and it’s happening now.

💥 What can you do?💥

Share this information, spread the word so more people understand what’s at stake!

Support policies and organizations pushing for tighter international regulations on deep-sea mining.

Photo of a high-tech machine plowing the ground of the ocean The US is not a member of the United Nations' International Seabed Authority (ISA), the global body that regulates deep-sea mining in international waters. Companies typically cannot mine the seabed beyond national jurisdictions without ISA approval. But here's the key: TMC is trying to bypass this system by applying for permits under an old US mining law, even though the seabed they want to mine is far outside US territory.

Sign the petition to halt deep-sea mining projects and demand stricter global protections for the ocean.

Let’s keep the pressure on.

Stop deep sea mining - Greenpeace International

The deep ocean is one of the world’s largest, most fragile, and most important ecosystems. We need a global moratorium to stop the launch of this destructive new extractive industry.

This move could set a really dangerous precedent: industrial-scale destruction of one of the last untouched #ecosystems on Earth.

Photo: Two workers with helmets look at a gigantic underwater drill This move could set a really dangerous precedent: industrial-scale destruction of one of the last untouched ecosystems on Earth.. If successful, this would allow corporations to sidestep international regulations and start mining the deep ocean under weak or outdated national laws.

The deep ocean is Earth's final frontier and it hosts millions of undiscovered #species.

The #MiningIndustry claims to be "green" because these metals are used in #EVbatteries, but the real cost is s irreversible #EcologicalCollapse.

Photo of a little orange deep-sea being with one eye What's the cost? The deep ocean is Earth's final frontier and it hosts millions of undiscovered species. Mining would destroy habitats before we eben know what we're losing. Seafloor ecosystems take millennia to recover, if they ever do. Once scraped clean, they're gone forever. The mining industry claims to be "green" because these metals are used in EV batteries, but the real cost is s irreversible ecological collapse.

Photo: Greenpeace boat on the sea with a big transparent: Stop Deep Sea Mining The time to act is now - share this post to spread awareness - demand global leaders ban deep-sea mining before it begins. - follow the money: who's funding this destruction? (Hint: the same industries pushing 'green' energy megaprojects that devastate marine life)
