Deep sea mining is a horror of horrors. It will:

• “Destroy deep-sea habitats and drive biodiversity loss

• “Disrupt fisheries, harming food security and coastal economies

• “Undermine the ocean’s role as the largest carbon sink, worsening climate change

• “Exacerbate social and economic inequalities by benefiting corporations while leaving coastal communities at risk

• “Threaten indigenous peoples’ rights and inclusive sustainable development

Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the Area and its mineral resources are the common heritage of humankind. This means they must be managed on behalf of and in the interests of all humanity including through: the sharing of economic benefits; support for marine
scientific research; and the effective protection of the marine environment.

At the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille (September 2021), IUCN Members adopted Resolution 122 to protect deep-ocean ecosystems and biodiversity through a moratorium on deep-sea mining unless and until a number of conditions are met. These include:

• The risks of mining are comprehensively
understood and effective protection can be ensured;

Rigorous and transparent impact assessments are conducted based on comprehensive baseline studies;

• The Precautionary Principle and the ‘Polluter Pays Principle’ are implemented;

• Policies incorporating circular economic
principles to reuse and recycle minerals have been developed and implemented;

• The public are consulted throughout decision-making;

• The governance of deep-sea mining is
transparent, accountable, inclusive, effective and environmentally responsible.
