It is also one of our best allies against climate change.

If this industry is allowed to start, gigantic machines weighing more than a blue whale will be lowered onto the ocean floor to plunder these pristine ocean ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine if we could go back in time and stop offshore drilling at the dawn of the oil age and prevent environmental and climate catastrophes. This is where we are at with deep sea mining. <strong>This is a once in a generation opportunity<\/strong>: to stop another extractive industry from damaging the global oceans the way the fossil fuel companies have done to the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governments need to take a strong stand against deep sea mining.
