🧵Uncle Sol, Indigenous activist from Hawaii, is attending the #ISA meetings to advocate for the protection of the #DeepSea ! In his intervention today he highlighted the importance of taking into consideration the connection we have to the deep sea in terms of #CulturalHeritage

The adoption of the #HighSeasTreaty text is just the first leg of a much bigger journey.
Now it's the time to keep pressure so countries ratify and implement the Treaty as soon as possible and deliver the global outcomes the ocean needs.
#RatifyNow #RaceforRatification

Canada, one of the world’s largest mining nations and home to deep sea miners The Metals Company, just backed a moratorium on deep sea mining!

The momentum to protect the oceans just keeps growing!

Analysis from Oceans North 👇

The list of countries calling for a ban, pause or moratorium on #deepseamining is growing! Watch this space for even more countries joining over the next three weeks of #ISA28 negotiations. Who will be next? 💙

Thank you 🪼🪼 this is huge & I hope Canada shows up to the next ISA with a mandate for NO #DeepSeaMining !!
