An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop Trump's Attempt to Mine the Ocean Floor

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

Deep-sea mining poses grave threats to marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Ripping up the ocean floor would devastate fragile habitats, endanger countless species, and accelerate climate change by releasing vast amounts of sequestered carbon. Scientists have raised serious alarms that cannot be ignored. This reckless executive order sacrifices environmental protection for corporate interests, brushing aside a UN-backed moratorium and global cooperation. Congress must intervene swiftly to block funding, ban permits, and prevent this unacceptable exploitation of our oceans before irreversible damage is done. The health of our planet and future generations depends on decisive action to stop this assault on one of Earth's last untouched wildernesses.
