Proposed mining would threaten not only crucial ecosystems but the global fight against climate breakdown.<\/p>

We founded Blue Planet Society to conserve our amazing marine wildlife \u2013 and we\u2019re determined to stop deep sea mining.<\/p>

We\u2019re calling on the International Seabed Authority (ISA) to stop all plans for deep sea mining and prioritise the health of our communities and recognise values beyond economic gain.<\/p>
