With a banner reading \u201cDon\u2019t mine the Moana\u201d, and flying a Tino Rangatiratanga flag, a M\u0101ori activist from Northland joined two Greenpeace activists in the Eastern Pacific to confront the deep sea mining research vessel, James Cook<\/em> today off the coast of Costa Rica.<\/p>\n\n

While critical negotiations at the controversial International Seabed Authority (ISA) meeting in Jamaica are ongoing, the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise with three New Zealanders on board intercepted the vessel as it was returning from a 7-week expedition in areas of the Pacific Ocean targeted for deep sea mining.<\/p>\n\n

A third Greenpeace activist also scaled the side of the moving vessel to unfurl a banner reading \u201cSay No to Deep Sea Mining\u201d. <\/p>\n\n

On board the Arctic Sunrise<\/em>, Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner James Hita of (Ngati Wh\u0101tua o Oruawharo\/Te uri o Hau) says: \u201cFor too long, Pacific peoples have been excluded from decisions that impact our territories and waters. If governments don’t stop this industry from starting, a new cycle of colonial exploitation will begin. We reject a future with deep sea mining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

M\u0101ori activist Quack Pirihi (Ng\u0101puhi, Ng\u0101ti Wai, Ngati Porou, Ng\u0101ti Whatua o Kaipara whakapapa) said the opportunity to participate in these forums, and the decisions made there will have a profound impact for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cStanding here as a proud descendant of the fiercest t\u016bpuna M\u0101ori is an honour that holds much responsibility. Our people are very rarely given the opportunity to speak in these forums, and by flying our Tino Rangatiratanga flag at the ISA meeting in Jamaica and here at sea, I am connecting not only myself to this kaupapa, but the mokopuna that will come long after me. This flag connects the movement for absolute sovereignty over ourselves in Aotearoa, to the movement of protecting our origin stories, and the moana.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the research vessel James Cook<\/em>, the \u2018Smartex Expedition\u2019 returned to sites where previous test mining took place in 1979 to monitor long-term impacts of mining but also to research how to \u201creduce the risks<\/a>\u201d as part of \u201cdeveloping a sustainable approach\u201d to deep sea mining. <\/p>\n\n

Greenpeace says this is a \u201csmokescreen\u201d, and that the project forms part of the deep sea mining industry’s development programme and is being used to enable the nascent deep sea mining industry. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cWhile political tensions flare in Jamaica right now over whether to allow deep sea mining to start, commercial interests are pressing ahead at sea like it’s a done deal. As if sending a ship to enable further destruction of our ecosystems wasn\u2019t offensive enough, sending one named after the most notorious coloniser of the Pacific is a cruel insult to our people,\u201d says Hita.  <\/p>\n\n

The action at sea took place as world delegates debated, at the International Seabed Authority, whether to approve the first application to mine the deep.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIndigenous M\u0101ori activists flying the Tino Rangatiratanga flag and challenging a ship named after a coloniser with a heartfelt message of \u2018Don\u2019t mine the Moana\u2019 is a significant moment. We are calling out neo-colonialism in the context of deep sea mining. We are standing for the ocean, for Pacific peoples and for indigenous peoples, and the message is clear: Deep sea mining must not begin.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

Last week, diplomats accused the head of the ISA, Michael Lodge, of having lost the impartiality demanded by his position<\/a> and interfering with the decision-making of governments at the ISA<\/a> to accelerate mining.<\/p>\n\n

More than 700 scientists from 44 countries have already opposed the industry by signing<\/a> an open letter calling for a pause.<\/p>\n\n

Negotiations at the ISA continue until 31 March.<\/p>\n\n
