I\u2019m a native Hawaiian Elder and I am writing this blog in the hope that Greenpeacers will stand with us in defense of our sacred ocean. In Hawaiian culture, we believe that all life on Earth comes from the deep sea \u2014 a place that is the source of creation thanks to the energy stored in the seabed, the \u2018wale wale\u2019. However, the bottom of the Pacific Ocean is now a battleground unseen by many and is at threat of being ravaged by a few greedy players in the Global North that are driven by profit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93576\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 810px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-93576 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/18bffde9-gp0stytfy_low_res_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93576\" data-wp-editing=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-93576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hinaleimoana Kwai Kong Wong-Kalu addresses the rally.<br \/>\nIndigenous Hawaiians hold a rally letting the Deep Sea Mining Ship, the Hidden Gem, know that the ship and deep sea mining are not welcome in Hawaii, Honolulu.<br \/>\nThe ship retreated from O\u2019ahu during the protest after Hawaiian Elder Sol P. Kaho\u2019ohalahala sent a message requesting they depart Hawaiian waters and not return while purposed for this destructive industry.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite growing resistance from scientists, civil society, and 24 countries, governments will discuss whether to fast-track rules to allow mining in the oceans to start as early as July! Sign the petition to tell President Biden to ban deep sea mining via executive order and stand with us on the side of justice, on the side of our oceans, on the side of our future.<\/p>\n<p>The way Indigenous people from the Pacific view the world is that we have to care for this balance on Honua (the Earth) because it took millions of years to form and was done so we can be the beneficiaries. Hence, our responsibility is to care for everything that precedes us, down to the eldest of our ancestors, which is the coral polyp found at the bottom of the ocean.[1]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93579\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 810px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/83194a30-gp0stvonr_low_res_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93579\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-93579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A juvenile Pancake Batfish (Halieutichthys aculeatus) trawled from between 200m depth and the surface, Gulf of Mexico, July 2018. The adults live on the sea floor in a benthic lifestyle and have been found at depths below 800m. The adults have a body that is flattened out like a pancake and they have modified fins for walking along the bottom. The larval and juvenile fishes inhabit the water colum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Nature doesn\u2019t belong to anyone. However the deep sea mining industry is acting as if the oceans are theirs and want to destroy them for profit \u2014 completely ignoring the fact that 3 billion people rely on our oceans everyday. For too long, Pacific voices have been shut out of rooms where decisions about extracting from the ocean are made, even though we would be on the frontline if deep sea mining was authorized. Our stories, our voices and our truths have been silenced \u2014 but no more.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I attended the next International Seabed Authority meeting with Greenpeace where governments are gathering to make crucial decisions about the future of the deep sea mining industry. I have spoken directly to them about the impact seabed mining would have on my community and so many others around the world.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93578\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 810px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-usa-stateless\/2024\/11\/28c58a62-gp0stvo34_low_res_with_credit_line.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93578\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-93578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kingston, Jamaica \u2013 The 28th Session of the International Seabed Authority starts on 16th March with world delegates gathering in Kingston, Jamaica less than two weeks after the Global Ocean Treaty was agreed at the United Nations.
