Deep-sea mining discharge can disrupt midwater food webs - Nature Communications Deep-sea mining in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone may release waste into midwaters that support diverse marine life. This study finds such discharges could dilute key food particles and disrupt trophic l...

New research shows how deep-sea mining particles could affect the nutrients plankton need to survive. Another reminder of how connected our ocean truly is.

The Ocean Still Holds Mysteries. That's Why We Must Save It The more we explore and protect the ocean, the more we benefit, whether in the form of economic returns or scientific breakthroughs.

Delighted to share joint TIME op-ed with @wendyschmidt.bsky.social on why we must save our ocean - crucial for biodiversity, climate & food security. It’s the beating πŸ’™ of our planet. We’ve seen firsthand why #science, open data & collaboration matter for #OceanConservation

Honored to meet President Moetai Brotherson of French Polynesia ahead of #UNOC3. I congratulated & thanked him in person on what will be major announcements for the ocean, shared tomorrow. Through Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy, we've supported these efforts working with local stakeholders since 2013.

Sustainable ocean management β€” and even more so, ocean protection β€” can only be achieved through transparency. Too often, the ocean remains out of sight and out of mind β€” transparency helps bring it to light and drive action.

As the ocean community gathers for #UNOC2025, the urgency to deliver on #30x30 has never been clearer.

@donabertarelli.bsky.social spoke to @devex.com about why transparency is key to real ocean protection & how tools like Marine Manager from @globalfishingwatch.org are making it possible. 🌊

We are the first to witness the wonders of the deep, and perhaps the last with the power to protect them.

On #DeepDay, I reaffirm a stance I've long held: the deep deserves caution, not haste.

Patagonia Azul is now a Provincial Park protecting 295,000+ hectares of vital marine and coastal ecosystems in Argentina. A major step for nature and communities.

Congratulations to all who made it possible, especially our partner Rewilding Argentina. This is a moment to celebrate.

In a time of mounting pressure on our ocean, New Caledonia's announcement for a 50-year moratorium on deep seabed mining is an important milestone. It strengthens protection of the Coral Sea Natural Park from surface to seabed. I applaud the inspiring leadership, showing progress is possible.

Media Release: Deep-sea mining company plans met with global pushback as International Seabed Authority meeting concludes - DSCC The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) urges the international community to urgently establish a moratorium on destructive deep-sea mining to prevent actions that threaten the health of our ocean ...

ISA Council meeting made one thing clear: deep-sea mining pressure can't override the duty to protect our ocean. With science, precaution, and inclusion still lacking, a moratorium is essential to safeguard the deep sea for people, nature, and future generations.
