The spill has not been publically reported by TMC or Allseas.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/oyvetFS-rls\/hqdefault.jpg');\" videoid=\"oyvetFS-rls\" params=\"rel=0\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>Greenpeace Aotearoa seabed mining campaigner James Hita says, \u201cThis footage is damning evidence of the potential threat that deep sea mining poses for ocean health and illustrates exactly why Greenpeace and our allies are urgently calling for a halt to deep sea mining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The release of the footage comes after Hita and Greenpeace allies confronted the Hidden Gem in November last year off the coast of Manzanillo, M\u00e9xico as it returned to port from the Pacific. One of the biggest vessels of its type in the world, the ship planned to mine 3,600 tonnes of polymetallic nodules from the seafloor in a trial that could pave the way for full scale commercial mining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhat you&#8217;re seeing in this footage is pulverized rock and sediment pulled from the deep, where it\u2019s supposed to be, spilling off The Hidden Gem onto the surface of the ocean in a dirty plume &#8211; potentially&nbsp; smothering marine life in the process.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a far cry from the images circulated by the Metals Company showing shiny, futuristic mining machinery &#8211;&nbsp; literally artists impressions &#8211; which are being used to sanitize and greenwash an industry that threatens ocean health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Hita says the incident has not been publicly reported by the company or the ISA, the body charged with regulating deep sea mining, and highlights TMC\u2019s technical and scientific incompetence.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cOur message to The Metals Company and the deep sea mining industry remains the same. We will not stand by while industry places profit before people and the health of the planet. We are courageous and we will oppose you at every step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Hita added the tide is turning on deep sea mining after the New Zealand Government announced last year its support for a conditional global moratorium on deep sea mining, until such a time that strong regulations, backed by robust science, were in place to protect the marine environment in international waters.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThe undercover footage makes it clear why the New Zealand Government needs to champion a global ban on deep sea mining at the International Seabed Authority (ISA) conference in March this year. We need urgent action that protects the ocean.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWaiho papa moana. Leave the seabed alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-16190 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-ban-seabed-mining\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg-1024x677.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg-600x397.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg-510x337.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2021\/04\/64cce2ab-whale-tail-tonga-bg.jpg 1200w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\" title=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/petition\/petition-ban-seabed-mining\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Ban seabed mining in Aotearoa\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Seabed mining is a new threat to the oceans.

Greenpeace Mexico activists meet the \"Hidden Gem\" in kayaks holding \"Stop Deep Sea Mining\" banners while Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner James Hita delivers a message to the captain of the Hidden Gem via radio."},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/press-release\/shocking-footage-leaked-from-deep-sea-mining-vessel\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"http:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Shocking footage leaked from deep sea mining vessel"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/","name":"Greenpeace Aotearoa","description":"Our mission is to ensure Earth\u2019s ability to nurture life in all its diversity.","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/#\/schema\/person\/894553b58f914fa9a7157965ea4d56d8","name":"Aden Miles Morunga","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKXAUeHW_SrF_mtsP4Ox7Asvu_4usgU2K3gtQbHFYA2=s96-c","contentUrl":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKXAUeHW_SrF_mtsP4Ox7Asvu_4usgU2K3gtQbHFYA2=s96-c","caption":"Aden Miles Morunga"},"description":"Ko Taupiri te maunga Ko Waikato te awa Ko Tainui te waka Ko Tainui te iwi Ko Ngaati Mahuta, Ngaati Patupo, Ngaati Apakura te hapuu Ko Tuurangawaewae te marae Noo Ngaaruawahia ahau Ko Morunga tooku whaanau Ko Aden Miles tooku ingoa.","url":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/author\/amorunga\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/85"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58117"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58117\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58120,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58117\/revisions\/58120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58117"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58117"},{"taxonomy":"p4-page-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/p4-page-type?post=58117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
