This is why we need indigenous people in the room at the ISA. We bring a unique perspective of treating the ocean as a living being. One that must be protected as such. The ocean gives us life, and in turn we must ensure it is still there tomorrow for those who come ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>The ISA\u2019s mandate is to preserve the international seabed and control all mineral-related activities. However, the deep sea mining industry <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-08-two-year-countdown-deep-seabed.html#:~:text=In%202021%2C%20the%20island%20nation,deadline%20expires%20in%20July%202023\">has forced governments\u2019 hands<\/a>, using an obscure and controversial legal loophole to set an ultimatum for governments to allow mining to begin. In 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/int.nyt.com\/data\/documenttools\/2021-06-nauru-letter-notification\/c8ca730598964eaf\/full.pdf\">the president of Nauru<\/a> together with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/news-release\/2023\/03\/09\/2624581\/0\/en\/The-Metals-Company-Engages-Bechtel-to-Support-NORI-s-Commercial-Contract-Application-for-NORI-D-Nodule-Project.html\">The Metals Company<\/a>\u2019s subsidiary Nauru Ocean Resources,&nbsp; triggered the &#8220;two-year rule&#8221; that puts pressure on governments at the ISA to allow deep sea mining to start by July 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace International Senior Oceans Policy Adviser Sebastian Losada echoed the call from Pacific activists, saying we cannot allow this reckless industry to go ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWhich governments would want to undermine the achievement of this Treaty by giving a greenlight to deep sea mining so soon after this historic success in New York?\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve come to Kingston to say loud and clear that deep sea mining is not compatible with a sustainable and fair future. The same States that completed negotiations to protect the oceans must now draw a line and ensure that the deep sea is protected from mining,\u201d says Losada.<\/p>\n\n<p>James Hita added that governments must push back on this timeline set by this controversial ultimatum in the next two weeks and ensure mining doesn\u2019t go ahead in the next few months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cDeep sea mining will continue to pose a threat even after the two year deadline, and countries must work for a moratorium on deep sea mining, which could be agreed at the ISA Assembly made up of 167 States plus the European Union. The next ISA Assembly meeting will take place in July 2023 in Kingston, Jamaica.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-52168 \"\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-stop-deep-sea-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\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner-1024x535.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner-1024x535.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner-768x401.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner-510x266.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2022\/06\/0ac18dd4-miner.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-stop-deep-sea-mining\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPETITION: Stop deep sea mining\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\">It\u2019s time for New Zealand to take a stand.
