Deep-sea mining is a controversial and risky activity that could harm the marine ecosystem and biodiversity. Canada is one of the few countries that has not signed a moratorium on deep-sea mining, despite the opposition from environmental groups and Indigenous communities. Deep-sea mining has potential benefits and challenges for Canada and the world. #deepseamining #Canada #environment https://thenarwhal.ca/deep-sea-mining-canada-moratorium-2/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

International negotiators just missed a deadline to regulate deep-sea mining, and that’s a cause for concern. Deep-sea mining is a controversial and risky activity that could harm the ocean floor and its biodiversity. This means that international cooperation and regulation are urgently needed to ensure the protection and sustainability of the marine environment. #deepseamining #regulation #ocean https://grist.org/regulation/international-negotiators-just-missed-a-deadline-to-regulate-deep-sea-mining-now-what/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Animals abandon deep-sea mining areas for over a year, according to a new study. The researchers found that the disturbance caused by a simulated mining experiment in the Pacific Ocean had lasting effects on the seafloor fauna. This means that deep-sea mining could have serious and irreversible impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystem services. #deepseamining #biodiversity #ecosystem https://www.newscientist.com/article/2382626-animals-abandon-deep-sea-mining-areas-for-over-a-year/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

We published an opinion in @MongabayOrg signed by more than 70 Parliamentarians from 25 countries:
As the @ISBAHQ is meeting in #Kingston, we urge States to adopt a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining !
"Without oceans no life on earth."

International talks end without go-ahead for #DeepSeaMining

Eleventh-hour agreement reached at #ISA meeting in #Jamaica to discuss moratorium at next year’s talks

AAAS: "As prospect of unregulated deep-sea mining looms, scientists sound the alarm." Negotiators missed a July deadline to complete regulations on mining, thus the International Seabed Authority (ISA) is raising the alarming prospect that mining operations targeting metals needed by the EV industry could commence without effective safeguards. The ISA regulates seabed mining beyond the limits of national jurisdictions. "The intergovernmental body, which was established under a 1994 agreement by the United Nations, spent years developing rules for commercial exploration and has issued 31 permits to mining companies and government agencies." Much of the recent discussion in Kimgston, Jamaica concerned a remote region of the eastern Pacific Ocean called the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), which stretches from south of Hawaii to Mexico. "Four kilometers down, the sea floor in the region is dotted with trillions of polymetallic nodules that are estimated to contain more cobalt and nickel than all known land deposits." Companies such as Canadian-owned Nauru Ocean Resources hope to start mining in CCZ in late 2024. Such mining would involve 'sucking them into bus-size seafloor mining machines and pumping them to the surface.' The operation would also stir up sediment plumes, laced with metals, and generate noise and light that could spread harm far beyond the mining site. In May a paper found that thousands of species have yet to be identified in the CCZ. The photo shows polymetallic nodules, dotting the seabed under a carnivorous sponge capturing a crab. A modern-day gold rush with significant harms.   #deepseamining    #environmentalrisk    #electricvehicles

Canada 🇨🇦: thank you for supporting a moratorium on #DeepSeaMining 🐙🌊.
Please be a bold voice for the deep sea and advocate strongly for a moratorium on this industry during #ISA28 @melaniejoly @JoyceMurray @JonathanWNV @s_guilbeault

Un océan sain pour les générations futures n’inclut pas de #DeepSeaMining. Les négociations sur le possible démarrage de cette industrie extractive reprendront ce lundi. C’est le moment d’appeler à la mise en œuvre d’un #moratoire international ! #DefendTheDeep @PGAction@twitter.com

I don't know but I think we should focus more on thinking through the consequences of things and less on grabbing the first solution that makes some very rich corporation richer!
Deep sea mining might be logical and necessary, but letting an under regulated gold rush just happen can't be the way to do it!
