A major win for the ocean! 🚨 The #NordicCouncil, with support across political lines, just voted for a #Moratorium on #DeepSeaMining. Iceland and Norway, it’s time to #ProtectTheDeep 🌊! @nordenen #nrsession #nrpol #nordiskråd seas-at-risk.org/general-new…

Mariane Paviasen Jensen commented: "We from Greenland, we are especially worried about Norway’s plans on deep-sea mining as we can imagine it can have enormous consequences also for our waters. We cannot accept that Norway has plans that impact other Nordic seas."

The #PIFLM53 ended with the "Ocean Care – Deep Sea Mining Talanoa" event, where Pacific Island nations expressed deep concerns about seabed mining. Ocean warriors made it clear: protecting our oceans must remain a top priority for everyone.

🚨The delegate for 🇦🇹Austria – who was present at the inaugural meeting of the ISA in 1994 – told the #ISA29 Assembly that his country supports a precautionary pause on #DeepSeaMining bringing the number of States who #DefendTheDeep to 32!

The #ISA29 Council meeting wraps up with no #DeepSeaMining authorized and the Mining Code still far from finalized – a setback for mining companies eager to exploit the ocean.
Join us next week for the ISA Assembly as we continue to #DefendTheDeep.

📽️A new documentary by @scrippsnews illustrates the dangers of #DeepSeaMining & its connection to the oil & gas industry. #DeepSeaMining is all about continuing to make profit at the expense of our planet. We must #DefendTheDeep before it's too late👉 youtube.com/watch?v=n7ylrEfk…

At its last Council meeting, the #ISA Secretary-General asked parties to not be "distracted by alternative narratives" in clear reference to the growing number of States supporting a #DeepSeaMining #Moratorium. Mexico, who holds the Council Presidency, just joined those ranks.

"Hon. @RRegenvanu (#Vanuatu 🇻🇺): The High Seas Treaty demonstrates our government's willingness to prioritize our oceans' health. However, #deepsea bed mining is taking place very quickly each day, posing a significant challenge to humankind and the life under the sea."

Absolutely! However, the #ocean goal #SDG14 receives the least amount of long-term funding of any of the sustainable development goals. Enormous opportunity to invest in ocean health that will benefit climate, nature and people! @FaunaFloraInt @FriendsofOcean @oceanpanel #GEFassembly2023 @ThomsonFiji @Benioff
