Mar 07, 2023Webinar: "Deep-sea mining: A new industry threatens our ocean"ReadWebinar: "Deep-sea mining: A new industry threatens our ocean"
A new industry is threatening our ocean: Deep-sea mining risks destroying fragile marine ecosystems, precious habitats and undiscovered species, with potentially devastating consequences for our planet’s health, local and indigenous communities, and future generations.
