In January, Norway gave the go-ahead to commercial deep-sea mining in the sensitive Arctic region.

🌊 #Norway wants to lock in #DeepSeaMining licences before the #HighSeasTreaty comes into force.

But authorizing these licences goes against their commitment to the Treaty to protect ocean biodiversity.

🇳🇴 🌊 #Norway undermines the #HighSeasTreaty by rushing #DeepSeaMining authorization

But that goes against their commitment to the Treaty to protect ocean biodiversity.

Climate change, overfishing, & plastic pollution wreak havoc on our ocean. Now, another threat looms: #DeepSeaMining.

Together, we can stop this threat before it’s too late.

RT to urge governments to stop the irreversible damage of the deep sea now! #ThinkDeeply https://t.co/VV7eTfNYGE
