Help stop deep sea mining before it starts

The deep sea is a treasure trove of biodiversity and home to untold wonders and possibilities. It is also one of our best allies against climate change.

But deep sea mining companies are pressuring governments to let them go down several thousand meters below the surface of the ocean and plunder the seabed to extract metals.

This is a once in a generation opportunity: to stop another extractive industry from damaging the global oceans the way the fossil fuel companies have done to the climate.

Join us by signing the petition.

We can stop this industry before it’s too late, but we don’t have much time. Governments need to take a strong stand against deep sea mining now and take action to protect the deep ocean.
