Lead, Act, Defend The Deep
The deep sea, our planet’s largest and least understood ecosystem, is under growing threat from destructive industries pushing into one of the planet’s last untouched frontiers.
From deep-sea mining to bottom trawling on vulnerable seamounts, governments are making decisions right now that will shape the future of the deep ocean for generations to come.
Join the global movement calling for urgent action to protect the deep sea, safeguard marine biodiversity, and defend the ocean systems that sustain life on Earth for current and future generations.
STOP DEEP-SEA MINING BEFORE IT BEGINS
Deep-sea mining risks irreversible harm to ecosystems, biodiversity and threatens fisheries, the carbon pump and the human right to a clean and healthy environment
More than 45 countries already support a moratorium or precautionary pause. Help build pressure on governments to protect the deep sea and stop mining before it begins.
PROTECT SEAMOUNTS FROM BOTTOM TRAWLING
Seamounts are underwater mountains that support extraordinary marine life and vital ocean health. Yet bottom trawling continues to devastate these fragile ecosystems.
Call on governments to help secure a global end to bottom trawling on high seas seamounts by 2027.
