We still don’t understand the full risks of disturbing the deep.
That’s reason enough to keep it untouched.

We’ve released Shifting Tides, a new briefing paper unpacking what sits behind TMC’s sudden pivot to the U.S.
It’s a move being sold as progress but our analysis shows it introduces a tangle of political, legal, and reputational risks that can’t be ignored.

In 2024, scientists reported that deep sea nodules may create oxygen in complete darkness.

While further research is needed, this possibility highlights how much we're yet to learn.

It’s snowing in the deep sea - every day ❄️

Tiny fragments of plankton, waste, and debris drift down as marine snow, feeding deep-sea life and locking away carbon for millennia.

Protecting the deep means protecting life everywhere 🌍

Whales use a deep-ocean “sound highway” to talk across entire ocean basins.
Deep-sea mining noise could block those calls.
The deep isn’t silent — it’s full of life worth protecting.

We’re all for renewable resources and polymetallic nodules aren’t one of them.
When the mining industry says “they’ll grow back,” remember that means in tens of millions of years.
Deep-sea mining isn’t sustainable. It’s destructive and irreversible.

Ever thought about what it’s like 11km below the surface?
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench there's crushing pressure - yet life still thrives.
The deep ocean is special and irreplaceable - it must be protected.

We don’t need deep-sea mining.
We need to:
✔ Reduce
✔ Reuse
✔ Repair

✔ Reimagine

Environment America shows that DSM is a reckless choice, not a necessity.

Taking tens of millions of years is not recovery... The disinformation spewing from deep sea miner Hans Smit is ridiculous.

Polymetallic nodules grow at an unimaginable pace: just 1–10 mm per million years. 1/2

The ocean doesn’t need deep sea mining and it looks like investors don’t need TMC.

Their latest quarterly results?
❌ $22M operating loss
❌ $74.3M net loss
❌ $0.20/share down the drain

TMC. Bad for the planet. Bad for business.

The deep sea isn’t the next frontier for mining. Technofixes aren't the solution. We should protect the deep sea at all costs.

The economics of Deep-Sea Mining don’t add up
