Beiträge, die mit loophole getaggt sind


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

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.


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.
