The Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSMC) has moved over from Elon is a Twit (Twitter) to @Mastodon #Mastodon

The Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSMC) has had a consistent focus on #DeepSeaMining as an emerging and very real threat to the world’s oceans for over 10 years.

Our unique approach combines research and evidence-based advocacy, finance advocacy and collaborative solidarity with frontline communities, and regional and international partners and networks.

Approximately 2 million square kilometres of Pacific Ocean Floor is currently under exploration leasehold for deep sea mining to national governments and private companies within both territorial and international waters.

We hope you will join us in saying #NoDeepSeaMining and follow us on FB and IG with the handle @nodeepseamining

For now, take a look at #BluePeril a visual investigation of deep sea mining in the Pacific Ocean

If you haven’t heard of #DeepSeaMining make sure to follow us @nodeepseamining and watch our visual investigation #BluePeril that looks at the potential impacts of deep sea mining goes ahead in the #Pacific.

There is a growing global movement led by Pacific communities to stop deep sea mining before it starts.

DeepSeaMining is not wanted. France 🇫🇷 Germany🇩🇪, Spain🇪🇸, Costa Rica🇨🇷, Panama🇵🇦, Ecuador🇪🇨, New Zealand🇳🇿, Samoa🇼🇸, Fiji🇫🇯, Chile🇨🇱, Micronesia 🇫🇲 and Palau🇵🇼 have all called for a pause or moratorium.

In the Pacific we are calling to #BanDeepSeaMining #NoDeepSeaMining

"#BluePeril uses a photographic survey of 88,000 images of seafloor habitat to explore the rich biodiversity of the #DeepSea that provides a habitat for millions of living organisms and is at risk of being destroyed by #DeepSeaMining."
