Deep Sea Mining Campaign

29 financial institutions now exclude deep sea mining from their policies - that means no financing, no insurance and no backing for an industry they see as environmentally risky, legally uncertain and financially exposed. See the full list here: dsm-campaign.org/our-work/finan… #DSMC

As ISA meetings continue this week, “Uncle Sol” offers a simple reminder: “We live in one ocean, not a divided ocean.” 💙 The deep sea is connected to the health of the whole ocean and to all of us who depend on it. Read more: insideclimatenews.org/news/13032026/… #DSMC #StopDSM

Confidence in the dsm industry is declining. For investors, the combination of scientific uncertainty, contested consent, and unresolved economics translates into long-tail political, regulatory, reputational, and financial risk. Learn more here: greenpeace.org/international/…

Deep-sea mining is losing its financial licence to operate. Before the industry has even begun, financial institutions representing €24 trillion in assets have adopted policies restricting or opposing it. Read the full report linktr.ee/nodeepseamining #DeepSeaMining

Momentum to protect the deep is growing! Projects that rely on accelerated rulemaking or unilateral approaches face rising political, regulatory, and reputational risk. Deep sea mining is a risky business. 👀 We're looking at you TMC... Learn more: deep-sea-conservation.org/solutions/no-d…

Our understanding of the deep seafloor is based on a small & biased sample. There is still so much to understand before large-scale industrial activity should be considered in these environments. Read the research: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #StopDSM #DSMC

💰 Finance Friday: The Metals Company is relying U.S. pathways to reassure investors that it can mine sooner via a U.S. pathway. Read our briefing paper - Shifting Tides which exposes the major holes in this plan dsm-campaign.org/new-briefing-p… #FinanceFridays #DSMC #ProtectOurOceans

⚠️ DSM causes ecological damage. A recent study in Nature found 37% less density and 32% less species diversity of seafloor animals at a deep sea mining test site. Read the full study here: nature.com/articles/s4155… Join the call for a moratorium: dsm-campaign.org

🤯 The deep ocean around the world is mostly just a few degrees above freezing. Life here is adapted to cold, stable conditions, not sudden disturbance or industrial discharge. 👉 linktr.ee/nodeepseamin… #StopDSM #DSMC

Pacific leaders are being promised income from deep sea mining amid climate and economic pressure. But the ocean underpins food security, livelihoods, and culture. Join Pacific leaders and scientists calling for a moratorium. dsm-campaign.org 🔗 tinyurl.com/AnoteTongRNZ

🤯 Siphonophores aren’t a single animal, but colonies made up of thousands of tiny, specialised clones working together as one drifting organism. Deep sea mining would disturb the calm, clear water layers they depend on. 👉 Learn more: linktr.ee/nodeepseamin... #StopDSM

Huge shout out to our friends over at the Civil Society Forum of Tonga. It's been fantastic to see the movement against deep sea mining growing hugely in Tonga. The will of the people is being taken to the King. rnz.co.nz/international/…

Much of the deep ocean floor is made up of extremely fine sediment. Fine particles from deep sea mining would stay suspended for long periods, smothering life, disrupting feeding, and altering ecosystems far from where mining occurs. 👉 Learn more: linktr.ee/nodeepseamin...

Seamounts are key targets for deep sea mining due to their cobalt-rich crusts - the damage would likely to be permanent on human timescales. Join the call for a global moratorium: linktr.ee/nodeepseamining #MindblownMondays #ProtectTheDeep #StopDSM #DSMC

🤯 Mindblown Monday Deep sea bacteria produce chemical compounds -which could be key for new antibiotics and medicines. The deep is full of potential, and it deserves protection. 🔗 Learn more: linktr.ee/nodeepseamining #StopDSM #DSMC

🤯 Mindblown Monday: some deep sea species grow slowly, mature late, and live for centuries. The life of the deep is built for stable conditions, so scientist warn recovery from disturbance is uncertain. 🔗 Learn more: linktr.ee/nodeepseamining #ProtectOurOceans #StopDSM #DSMC
