What has the Australian government got to do with it?
The Metals Company, a mining company, is pushing to mine the seafloor in the Pacific Ocean as early as 2024 but by acting now we can prevent this destructive industry from ever getting off the ground.
Deep sea mining would have devastating impacts to oceans, marine life and people all over the world. For Pasifika people it poses serious threats to their livelihoods and spiritual connection to the ocean by impacting fish populations and sacred ecosystems.
The Australian government must use their power to stop this destructive industry, ensuring that valuable ecosystems aren’t put further at risk.
As a member of the International Seabed Authority, the organisation responsible for regulating ocean mining companies and preserving the deep sea, the Australian government has a vital role to play. We need them to show leadership and join others in calling for a moratorium to stop deep sea mining.

A dangerous new industry threatening some of the most pristine places on Earth
Deep sea mining is a whole new frontier of destruction. We don’t even know the full extent of the incredible species that could be lost forever.
Join the global movement to protect the deep sea
This is a once in a generation opportunity: to stop another extractive industry from damaging the global oceans the way the fossil fuel companies have done to the climate.
Help stop it before it starts by urging the Australian government to declare their support for a moratorium on deep sea mining.
