Recent developments have made it clear that outstanding political and scientific concerns cannot be hastily resolved under industry-driven pressure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Louisa Casson,&nbsp; Campaigner, Greenpeace International who attended the meeting, says: <\/strong>\u201cGovernments have yet to rise to the moment. They remain disconnected from global concerns and the pressing need for courageous leadership to protect the deep ocean. We call on the international community to rise up and defend multilateralism against rogue actors like The Metals Company. Leaders must respond by establishing a moratorium and reaffirming that authority over the international seabed lies collectively with all States\u2014for the benefit of humanity as a whole.&#8221;<br><br><strong>Juressa Lee, Greenpeace Aotearoa seabed mining campaigner, says:&nbsp; <\/strong>\u201cDeep sea mining is the latest form of colonisation and extraction. Pacific civil society is overwhelmingly opposed to deep sea mining and must not be ignored in the rush by companies and states based in the Global North to start plundering the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>While calls for a moratorium on deep sea mining have not yet gained global consensus, they continue to gain momentum, supported by compelling arguments from a diverse group of countries. Croatia has just become the 38th government calling for a precautionary pause, moratorium or ban on deep sea mining.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;On Tuesday <strong>His Excellency Surangel S. Whipps Jr., President of the Republic of Palau<\/strong>, addressed the Assembly, drawing attention to persistent efforts and intense pressure from the industry to rush the negotiations and finalise a Mining Code. He stated: \u201cExploiting the seabed is not a necessity \u2013 it is a choice. And it is reckless. It is gambling with the future of Pacific Island children, who will inherit the dire consequences of decisions made far from their shores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>In the first meeting of the ISA since The Metals Company (TMC) submitted the world\u2019s first-ever application to commercially mine the international seabed, governments at the ISA Council responded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isa.org.jm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/ISBA_30_C_19-Decision-of-the-Council-of-the-International-Seabed-Authority-relating-to-the-reports-of-the-Chair-of-the-Legal-and-Technical-Commissionfv-AUV.pdf\">launching an investigation into whether mining contractors<\/a>, including TMC\u2019s subsidiaries Nauru Ocean Resources Inc.
