NOT #trawling on #seamounts should be a no brainer: it's the only way to fulfill existing legal obligations to protect the marine environment. The North Pacific Fisheries Commission #NPFC fails again to protect the Emperor Seamounts Chain #DefendTheDeep news.mongabay.com/2024/04/no-pro…

96% of areas beyond national jurisdiction are #deepsea . We need to reset our relationship with the #ocean . Sian Owen “ultimately it’s business as usual that’s creating the ocean crisis… partnerships help a wider audience to see below the surface” #UNOceanDecade #RiseUp4theOcean
Today, at the #OceanDecade24 , our Director Sian Owen, Lisa Levin Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Dan Hikuroa and The Ocean Race Richard Brisius discussed the importance of the #DeepSea and deep-ocean science to discover more about those ecosystems and protect the 💙 of our planet.

The #DeepSea critters are out in force this year for the DSCC 's 20th anniversary. Help them #DefendTheDeep by ending #BottomTrawling on seamounts and calling for a moratorium on #DeepSea Mining.
Indigenous Peoples across the Pacific have been campaigning to #StopDeepSeaMining because it will ruin precious ecosystems and the cultures that rely on them.
You’ve admitted deep sea mining can’t be sustainable yourself so quit the greenwash The Metals Company $TMC #SAFESummit2024
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to stop an unsustainable, extractive industry before it even gets off the ground. ✋ ⛔
#DeepSeaMining #ClimateAction #DefendTheDeep
The science is clear: there is no way to avoid environmental harm.
Ahead of #ISA29 , the deep sea critters 🐡🐙🦑 call on States to adopt a moratorium, slam the brakes on #DeepSeaMining and prioritize the protection of our ocean 💙
#DefendTheDeep
Today, at Economist Impact events #OceanSummit panel on #DeepSeaMining , Seas At Risk Monica Verbeek & IUCN Ocean Team Minna Epps reminded the audience that we don't need to mine the seafloor. Rather the industry is a threat to the biodiversity crisis.
The sole approach is a moratorium 🧵
...and if only the #ocean #environment had a voice to remind us that #DeepSeaMining would cause irreversible damage, with zero positive impact re: reducing terrestrial mining. #DefendTheDeep #JustGreenTransition
