Ocean champion, the President of Palau, addressed the ISA calling to protect the ocean for future generations.
This was especially powerful as two of his children were part of his delegation.
He closed his speech with these words:
ALT Let us not leave Jamaica having granted the mining industry a licence to colonise the common heritage of humankind and destroy our greatest ally in our fight against climate change - our ocean."

What does seabed mining sound like?
According to new research, a single deep-sea mining site could produce noise extending hundreds of kilometers—impacting marine life far beyond the mine's borders. pew.org/3otN62d

.@pewtrusts's Chris Pickens @ISBAHQ today - It is problematic that inspection and compliance issues have not been addressed for exploration.... Without an effective mechanism to monitor and enforce compliance, ISA Regulations become meaningless. #ISA28 #DefendTheDeep

"One good exemple of ecocide is the effect of seabed mining. Ecocide should be an international crime "
Couldn't agree more. So
@MariaOhisalo @Haavisto
I don't get it: why didn't you join the moratorium on deep sea mining as France, Spain, Germany...and 10 others countries ??

Thousands of dead dolphins on the Black Sea coast are just a small part of the ecocide that Russian aggression causes Ukraine. The damade is devastating.
All evidence of ecocide is gathered and Russia will be prosecuted for its crimes.
