The New Plymouth District Council just voted overwhelmingly to oppose #seabedmining! Absolutely awesome mahi by Councillor Amanda Clinton-Gohdes for her incredibly detailed proposal. Absolute legend. But totally the right decision!

The environmental risks posed by deep-sea mining extend far beyond destruction of seabed habitats. New research from the University of Hawaii at Manoa affirms that plumes of sediment from mining operations pose a real threat to life in the ocean water column. bit.ly/47ZsxOi #DSM #SeabedMining
Deep-sea mining risks disrupting the marine food web, study warns
Drilling for minerals deep in the ocean could have immense consequences on the tiny animals at the core of the vast ocean food web — and ultimately affect fisheries and the food we find on our plates.

The Opposition is right here, but they chose not to ban #seabedmining. Still waiting for them to promise to at least re-evaluate fast-track consents.
But this pales into insignificance against the current regime’s blind faith that seabed mining will bring us riches: astonishingly naive.

Trans Tasman Resources Memo tells the Fast Track Panel it has no new conditions that wld remediate the identified risks #seabedmining would pose to the moana.
Instead, whines about Panel not asking them for info to fill in the knowledge gaps.

The Economics of Deep-Sea Mining Don't Add Up
If the U.S. wants to secure critical minerals it should invest in mining and processing facilities on home soil rather than the seafloor.

These plans on mining for minerals in the Gulf of Bothnia are deeply disturbing. This has the potential to end up being a huge ecological disaster.

Fuck you, Arbeiderpartiet, Senterpartiet, Høyre og Fremskrittspartiet.

Dere har nettopp sviktet ungene mine på det groveste. Dere vedtar grov natur- og miljøkriminalitet mot alle eksperters råd.

Verdens øyne er på dere og det vil koste dere og landet vårt dyrt.

Kyniske jævler.
