Effects of deep-sea mining
Types of deep-sea mining
The Metals Company (TMC), a controversial deep-sea mining corporation, is applying for permits under US mining law, a loophole that allows them to exploit the seabed in international waters.
Trump has signed an executive order to open both US and international waters to deep-sea mining, ignoring a global treaty that controls the high seas.

Reefs are not just biodiverse—they’re life support systems for nearly a billion people worldwide.
Tomorrow, May 1, 2025 at 11:00 p.m. UTC, join Mongabay for a conversation about how journalists can meaningfully report on coral reefs, from local knowledge to global climate trends.
"In Native Hawaiians’ genealogical stories, says Solomon Kahoʻohalahala, the coral polyp is considered the oldest ancestor, and they hold spiritual relationships with migratory animals, including the Koholā, or humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae).
“Koholā is the manifestation of our god of the sea and is revered for its ability to dive into the depths of the deep sea and the realm of the sacred place of our creation, far beyond our imaginations,” he said. “Their care and protection are vital for the existence of species and Native Hawaiians.”
For generations, the traditional ecological knowledge, values, and spiritual beliefs of Indigenous peoples related to forests, lands, waters, and territories have helped conserve nature and its resources. “We do not see ourselves above nature, which is quite different from the colonial perspective that sees dominion over all things,” said Kahoʻohalahala, chairperson of Maui Nui Makai Network, a group of community and partner organizations across the Hawaiian Islands." - https://news.mongabay.com/2025/04/we-belong-to-one-ocean-indigenous-leaders-demand-seat-at-the-table-of-high-seas-biodiversity-treaty/
Most new oil and gas projects in 2024 were located offshore, where spills can be hard to detect. Researchers at the nonprofit SkyTruth recently published a report identifying the biggest sources of pollution from offshore oil, including oil leaks, transportation emissions and methane flaring, as well as the most polluted locations.

Trump order to loosen fishing regulations poses major risks, experts warn

#Trump’s and #GOP policies display an avaricious desire to rape and pollute the #environment and show no appreciation for #nature and the natural world.
Trump’s experience with the natural environment seems limited to golf courses, which are actually very manipulated public spaces.
