96% of areas beyond national jurisdiction are #deepsea . We need to reset our relationship with the #ocean . Sian Owen “ultimately it’s business as usual that’s creating the ocean crisis… partnerships help a wider audience to see below the surface” #UNOceanDecade #RiseUp4theOcean

The #DeepSea critters are out in force this year for the DSCC 's 20th anniversary. Help them #DefendTheDeep by ending #BottomTrawling on seamounts and calling for a moratorium on #DeepSea Mining.
Indigenous Peoples across the Pacific have been campaigning to #StopDeepSeaMining because it will ruin precious ecosystems and the cultures that rely on them.
You’ve admitted deep sea mining can’t be sustainable yourself so quit the greenwash The Metals Company $TMC #SAFESummit2024

The science is clear: there is no way to avoid environmental harm.
Ahead of #ISA29 , the deep sea critters 🐡🐙🦑 call on States to adopt a moratorium, slam the brakes on #DeepSeaMining and prioritize the protection of our ocean 💙
#DefendTheDeep
Today, at Economist Impact events #OceanSummit panel on #DeepSeaMining , Seas At Risk Monica Verbeek & IUCN Ocean Team Minna Epps reminded the audience that we don't need to mine the seafloor. Rather the industry is a threat to the biodiversity crisis.
The sole approach is a moratorium 🧵
...and if only the #ocean #environment had a voice to remind us that #DeepSeaMining would cause irreversible damage, with zero positive impact re: reducing terrestrial mining. #DefendTheDeep #JustGreenTransition
Our Director Sian Owen is 1️⃣ of the women in #OceanConservation leading roles. However, a recent gender gap report saw women still underrepresented in these roles.
