The ocean produces more oxygen and stores more carbon than any other place on Earth, and is home to the majority of life on our planet. Our climate depends on ocean currents propelled by upwelling from the deep sea. We damage it at our peril.
Yet, the International Seabed Authority is considering opening the deep sea to companies who are vying for rights to extract millions of tons of rocks containing manganese, cobalt, nickel and lithium with heavy equipment, which will damage fragile ecosystems there.
Arlo Hemphill, Lead Ocean Campaigner for Greenpeace USA exposes how the laws of the sea are being evaded to accommodate mining interests.
