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
