\"Confronting
Greenpeace International activists peacefully confronted UK Royal Research Ship James Cook in the East Pacific waters as it returned from a seven-week long expedition to a section of the Pacific Ocean targeted for deep sea mining. An activist scaled the side of the moving vessel to unfurl a banner reading \u201cSay No to Deep Sea Mining\u201d, while two M\u0101ori Indigenous activists swam in front of the RRS James Cook, one holding the M\u0101ori flag and the other a flag reading \u201cDon\u2019t Mine the Moana\u201d (don’t mine in the oceans).
\u00a9 Martin Katz \/ Greenpeace<\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

WASHINGTON, DC (August 7, 2025)<\/strong> \u2014 In response to the <\/strong>announcement<\/strong><\/a> that the United States has begun discussions with the government of the Cook Islands to support research into seabed exploration and \u201cresponsible development\u201d within the Cook Islands\u2019 exclusive economic zone, Arlo Hemphill, Greenpeace USA\u2019s project lead for the Stop Deep Sea Mining campaign, said: <\/strong>\u201cThis announcement signals yet another backdoor attempt by the U.S. to legitimize deep-sea mining \u2014 this time under the guise of \u2018science\u2019 and \u2018responsibility.\u2019 History shows that exploration usually leads to exploitation, and once a new frontier is opened to resource exploitation, that door rarely swings shut again.\u201d <\/p>\n\n

The announcement is the latest in a growing trend by the Trump Administration to open the deep seabed up to commercial mining. In April 2025, the Trump administration issued an executive order<\/a> to greenlight deep-sea mining in international waters, signaling a possible intent to bypass international safeguards. Just days later, the world\u2019s first commercial mining application was filed<\/a>. A new Greenpeace USA report \u2013 Deep Deception<\/a> \u2013 outlines how much of this push may have come as a result of deep sea mining corporations investing significant lobbying toward congressional defense hawks, as the industry largely abandons their greenwashing narrative of \u201cclimate heroism\u201d for one of U.S. national security and defense. <\/p>\n\n

The U.S. faces a long process to establish its legal framework, and the timeline for commercial production remains uncertain \u2013 <\/a>subject to indefinite delays due to technical, financial, and regulatory hurdles. It has also encountered global public backlash from several states, civil society groups, and Indigenous Pacific communities on its plans to mine in either U.S. domestic waters or on the international seabed under U.S. unilateral authority. However, sidestepping all of that in favor of working with a nation ready to launch the industry, offers the Trump Administration an even faster track towards exploiting the deep sea bed for greed, not need. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe world is not ready to open the \u2018Pandora\u2019s Box\u2019 known as deep sea mining. The science isn\u2019t nearly sufficient. We would risk tinkering with planetary systems we still know almost nothing about,\u201d added Hemphill.<\/strong> \u201cThe safest and most credible path forward is a global pause \u2014 one that prioritizes science, safeguards fragile ecosystems, and protects the ocean as the common heritage of all humankind. If the U.S. is serious about ocean protection, it must stop making piecemeal deals and instead support a global moratorium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Alanna Smith, director of the Cook Islands\u2013based NGO Te Ipukarea Society, said: \u201c<\/strong>The Cook Islands Government has already issued three five-year exploration licenses to two U.S. mining companies (Moana Minerals and CIC) and to one Belgian company (CSR), which is in a joint venture with the Cook Islands Government. Achieving “Responsible Development” would mean ensuring independent deep sea research was being conducted in our waters, not issuing another exploration license.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cPacific communities are on the front lines of deep-sea mining\u2019s risks. This industry threatens fragile biodiversity, vital fisheries, and the cultural and economic lifeblood of nations like the Cook Islands. Our future should not be put in jeopardy for short-term corporate promises that may never be fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
