Seabed mining is a risky and untested industry that threatens ocean life.  In Aotearoa we have been fighting the seabed mining industry - and have taken a case all the way to the Supreme Court, which quashed the company's consent. Now, it's time for the NZ Government to ban it altogether.

Right now the US is trying to bully New Zealand into doing a deal on ‘critical’ minerals.
​
Together we must tell Luxon to stand up to Trump and say no to a critical minerals agreement.​

Despite our ocean territory being 15 times larger than our landmass, New Zealand currently has less that one percent of its ocean areas protected.

Add your name to show your support for '30x30' - 30% of our ocean in Marine Protected Areas by 2030.

Bottom trawling is a fishing practice that drags huge nets across the seafloor, killing everything in its wake. Worse is bottom trawling that targets underwater mountains - or seamounts - which contain ancient corals and sponges, creating unique ecosystems. We're calling on the Government to ban bottom trawling on seamounts.
