Hi james,
Ready, set, STOP!.... The race to stop deep sea mining before it begins is on.
The International Seabed Authority is resuming discussions on how to open our global oceans to deep-sea mining. Despite growing resistance from scientists, civil society, and 24 countries, governments will discuss whether to fast-track rules to allow mining in the oceans to start as early as July!
The destruction of the ocean floor for earth minerals will be devastating to our planet. The deep sea is a rare and unique ecosystem — home to many newly discovered species and a driver of critical natural cycles that make our planet liveable.
That's why we can't let our government give the green light to greedy, immoral mining companies set to destroy the ocean floor for profit!
Take action!
President Biden has the power to stop deep sea mining before it starts – First, he can and must sign an executive order to ban deep sea mining from US waters. Second, it's crucial he direct the US delegation to the International Seabed Authority to take the position of a global moratorium on deep-sea mining.
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.
Let's shut this industry down before it starts!
Act Now: Tell the Biden Administration to ban deep sea mining Now!
Sign the petition!
