The deep sea must stay off-limits to mining.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe chilling new Netflix doco <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/seaspiracy-netflix-movie-take-action\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"16015\">Seaspiracy<\/a><\/em> has just reminded many of the terrible threats facing our oceans. Deep sea mining is yet another threat which, if not nipped in the bud, could have catastrophic consequences for a system already under strain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The deep sea mining industry is dominated by a handful of companies headquartered in the Global North.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Last year, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/story\/whats-more-mysterious-than-the-deep-ocean\/\">Greenpeace investigation<\/a> revealed that through subsidiaries, subcontractors and partnerships, three corporations (DeepGreen, GSR and Lockheed Martin) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isa.org.jm\/files\/files\/documents\/statusofreservedareas-01-2019-a.pdf\">have seized control of deep sea mining contracts covering half a million square kilometre<\/a>s of the seabed in the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cPacific island nations would be left with the consequences of deep sea mining,\u201d says Desmond.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis practice could exacerbate the impacts they already face from overfishing, pollution and the climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Victor Pickering, an activist from Fiji currently on board the <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em>, unveiled a banner reading: \u201cOur Pacific, not yours to destroy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe ocean provides food for our families and connects all of us Pacific islands from one island to another,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cI am taking action because our people, our land, are already facing the threats of extreme storms, rising sea levels, plastic pollution and industrially depleted fish populations. I cannot stay silent and watch another threat &#8211; deep sea mining &#8211; take away our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Many Pacific civil society groups, churches, traditional leaders and grassroots activists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/greenpeace-supports-call-for-drawing-pacific-blue-line-against-deep-sea-mining\/\">are vehemently opposed to deep sea mining <\/a>and have been making their resistance known.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Pacific Island states including Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu have also voiced their opposition to deep sea mining, highlighting the risks it poses to the ocean &#8211; food source, lifeline, and place of deep cultural significance.<\/p>\n\n<p>Desmond says: \u201cNew Zealand must join countries like Vanuatu and Fiji and call for a ban on mining the ocean, drawing a Pacific Blue Line against this destructive industry.
