As world leaders gathered in Athens for Our Ocean Greece, the need and calls for a #DeepSeaMining moratorium were heard loud and clear!

Momentum is growing. Join the resistance and say no to deep-sea mining before it's too late. 🌊✊
#DefendTheDeep

I'm mesmerized by the mysterious deep-sea, home to abundant, diverse and unique life in harsh conditions. Yet, threats like #DeepSeaMining endanger this unseen world. On #DeepDay , let's spotlight the need to safeguard our ocean's depths. 🌊🐙

How will our fleet of AUVs:
1. Responsibly and selectively harvest #criticalmetals from the ocean floor
and
2. Unload payloads onto ships more economically and with lower environmental impact?

Watch this #video for the answers.

#deepseamining

The deep sea makes up 90% of the marine environment, but less than 5% has been explored.

If permitted, #DeepSeaMining would be devastating for our ocean, putting thousands of species at risk before we can begin to understand them. #DeepDay

Today is Deep Day, a day to celebrate the ocean with our friends from the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, and to raise awareness of the threats facing the ocean from deep sea mining. #DeepSeaMining #DeepDay2024

#DYK that the #DeepSea plays an important role in mitigating #ClimateChange ?
Let’s preserve this unique and critical ecosystem from activities such as #DeepSea Mining and #BottomTrawling . Let’s #DefendtheDeep !

#DeepSeaMining could move forward as early as this year—despite ample evidence that it could cause irrevocable damage.

A growing number of indigenous groups, scientists, and NGOs are calling for a moratorium or pause to #DefendTheDeep . pew.org/3JOP8kZ

The deep-sea is a vibrant and extreme place, home to unique creatures and many discoveries to make.

However, some hope to turn this important ecosystem into the new mining frontier.

#DeepSeaMining will put the ocean and those who rely on it at great risk – it must not start.

Passer d’un modèle extractif à un modèle efficient en ressources et se concentrer sur l’économie circulaire rendrait le #deepseamining obsolète avant même qu’il ne détruise nos océans.
