Meanwhile the NatACT government in Aotearoa is actively encouraging mining corporations to "invest" in large-scale destruction of the seabed around our islands.

Will no one rid us of these turbulent priests? Well, there is an election coming ...

#US Is Reviewing #ImpossibleMetals Proposal to #Mine the #Seabed
The Interior Department said it would review a new proposal for operations off the coast of #AmericanSamoa.
The move follows an #executiveorder that urged government agencies to expedite permits for #seabedmining in US territorial waters as well as international waters. Most other nations argue US does not have the legal right to mine the seabed beyond its own territorial waters.

THE FIGHT AGAINST SEABED MINING

The South Taranaki Bight is home to blue #whales, Māui and Hector’s #dolphins, kororā (little #penguins), and key fishing grounds. You may already know that it is under threat once again by the possibility of #SeabedMining. Trans Tasman Resources ( #TTR ) is seeking consent to #mine the seabed of the South Taranaki Bight - to dig up to 50 million tonnes of ironsands a year for over 30 years, dumping 45 million tonnes back onto the seafloor.
