At #ISBA30, Secretary-General Carvalho stressed that ISA is the only universally recognized legitimate framework for activities in the Area, highlighting the principle of the common heritage of humankind, and stressing that any unilateral action would be a violation of international law. #UNCLOS

At #ISBA30, the Assembly deferred a decision on the second periodic review of the operation of the deep seabed regime until its next session and—for the third consecutive session—could not reach consensus on if a general environmental policy is needed ➡️ enb.iisd.org/internationa...

🚨 Deep-sea mining would be devastating and a financial dead end. We urge the ISA to #DefendTheDeep: ⏸️ Adopt a moratorium until science proves no harm ❌ Reject efforts to rush a mining code 🛡️ Defend multilateralism 🌊 Prioritize ocean health over corporate greed! DefendTheDeep.org #ISA30

Aunty McRose Elu said the decision was "a moral loss for the government, not for us” "We will be the first climate refugees in Australia … what will I say to my grandchildren about this decision? "It's their future, not mine. We will keep fighting." www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

A judge concluded today that the Australian government “did not engage with or give real or genuine consideration to the best available science" when setting emission reduction targets. Although the legal case was lost, this is a moral victory for all victims of climate change.

A recent study has found that just 104 companies, mostly multinational corporations from high-income countries, are involved in a fifth of the more than 3,000 environmental conflicts it analyzed. Nearly 90% of the superconflictive companies are in high-income countries and China.

At #ISBA30, many delegates expressed concern and disappointment over the intention of TMC USA, reiterating their commitment to #UNCLOS, the 1994 Agreement, and the ISA, and underscoring that the seabed, subsoil, and resources thereof in the Area are the common heritage of humankind. #seabed #deepsea

As @euanritchie.bsky.social says - “Extinction is a choice”. The people of Australia have made that choice by voting the way we do at state and federal elections. It is going to be a tough one to explain to our grandchildren theconversation.com/environment-...

ICYMI. My story yesterday had the scoop that nickel producer Indonesia and petrostate Saudi Arabia are moving to join the seabed gold rush, either by sponsoring a mining company or obtaining an exploration license from the International Seabed Authority.

Portugal🇵🇹 has become the first European country 🇪🇺 to introduce legislation banning deep-sea mining in its waters! ⛔⛏️✊ This comes at a crucial moment as the International Seabed Authority (ISA) meets in Jamaica 🇯🇲 to discuss a deep-sea mining code. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/history...

Just one example of many showing up in my timeline of the rewriting of history in real time at universities.

The #HighSeasTreaty is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to protect almost 1/2 of our planet, but it needs to be ratified by at least 60 countries for it to enter into force. 📣 Urge leaders around the world to ratify NOW! https://buff.ly/3Ec75uj #RaceForRatification #BBNJ

What does it say about us that we contaminate an entire ecosystem of ocean life and the headlines read, “microplastics in seafood”? 🌎🦑🧪 www.realclearscience.com/2025/01/07/m...

Microplastics have infiltrated every aspect of our planet. They're found in soil, the ocean, our bodies, and our food. www.thecooldown.com/...

Big oil & their allies fight to keep future profits from plastic free to flow. Their persistent belligerence, despite evidence of plastic multibeing communities everywhere, now & into futures, is barbaric. #OceanJustice #MultibeingJustice #Plastic #FossilFuels thenarwhal.ca/canada-plast...
