Take Action - get involved today!
Together we have stopped seabed mining before. But we need to rally to put a stop to this nonsense once and for all - we need your help to make this an election issue.
It'll take us all to get our politicians to listen and ban seabed mining in Aotearoa.
Join the stand against seabed mining by taking some of the actions below.
Together we can protect our ocean!
Make seabed mining an election issue
The #1 thing we can do in 2026 is talk to our politicians
Contact MPs and candidates with your concerns.
Tell them that that kiwis want to protect, not exploit our oceans.
In your area: you can find your electorate and check you're enrolled to vote here or learn who is running in your electorate here.
Email or request a meeting to share why the moana is important to you and explain why we need a ban on seabed mining.
There'll also be candidate meetings held across the motu from now to the election. If you're keen, go and ask questions to get the issue into the debates, and get answers from the would-be politicians.
Party leaders & their environmental spokespeople need to hear that voters want a ban on seabed mining, you could email the following:
National: Christopher Luxon & Nicola Grigg
Labour: Chris Hipkins & Rachel Brooking
and add your name to the petition calling for a ban here
Amplify the call to ban seabed mining
Spread the word
Many people don't know about the threat of seabed mining or what's at stake. You can help spread the word by:
-
Following and sharing KASM on social media
-
Talk to your friends and whānau
-
Create handmade signs
-
Print out these flyers and spread them around your town
Write to newspapers
Letters to the editor are a great way to share concerns about seabed mining proposals with a large audience.
If you time it to come after an article based on seabed mining or the election you have a good chance of getting published.
Simply google 'Letters to the editor" + the name of your local paper to find an email address. Keep it short <200 words and incl your full name.
