Trans-Tasman Resources has withdrawn its Fast Track application to mine the seabed off Taranaki. Read the evidence of the experts who submitted for Greenpeace on how seabed mining would impact marine mammals, seabirds, the benthic ecology, sediment plume, along with feasibility and economics.

Today, as seabed miners Trans Tasman Resources (TTR) withdrew from their failing Fast Track bid, the NZ government has announced a$80 million dollar ‘critical minerals slush fund.’ Greenpeace is questioning if this signals an invitation for TTR to have another bite at the cherry.

Trans-Tasman Resources have responded to the Fast Track Expert Panel’s draft decision, saying they will not propose any changes to conditions.
