Help Stop Deep Sea Mining before it starts
The deep sea is a treasure of biodiversity and home to untold wonders and possibilities. However, mining companies are attempting to plunder the sea floor for profit.
Deep sea mining could pose serious threats to Pacific peoples’ livelihoods and spiritual connection to the ocean by impacting fish populations and sacred ecosystems.
The good news is we can stop this industry before it’s too late, but we don’t have much time.
Tell the Australian government to take a strong stand against deep sea mining now.

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.
What has the Australian government got to do with it?
If deep sea mining begins in the Pacific Ocean, it could have devastating impacts on millions of people living in the Pacific region. It poses serious threats to Pacific peoples' livelihoods and spiritual connection to the ocean by impacting fish populations and sacred ecosystems.
If the Australian government is serious about hosting COP31 with the Pacific, they need to use their power to stop this destructive industry from getting fully off the ground, ensuring that valuable ecosystems aren’t put further at risk and that the livelihoods of communities in the Pacific that depend on the ocean aren’t thrown into disarray.
The Australian government has a vital role to play as a member of the International Seabed Authority which is the organisation responsible for regulating ocean mining companies and preserving the deep sea. We need the Australian government to show leadership and set an example for other governments in calling for a global ban on deep sea mining.
Join the movement to protect the deep sea
Support our Pacific neighbours by urging the Australian government to declare their support for a global ban on deep sea mining.
Companies are seeking to mine the seafloor in the Pacific Ocean as early as July but acting now could prevent this destructive industry from getting fully off the ground.
This would ensure that valuable ecosystems aren’t put further at risk and that the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on the sea aren’t thrown into disarray.
