A life more thoughtful

Penguins, seals and whales depend on tiny Antarctic krill. Protecting their feeding grounds helps safeguard the food web that connects them.
 
In our latest Inside the Story, we explore how the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) brings countries together to protect Antarctic marine life, the Southern Ocean and why new marine protected areas in this region matter.

The economic case for deep-sea mining is often presented as a source of public benefit.

A new report by Koinon Consulting, commissioned by Oceans North, the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition, Oceano Azul Foundation, IUCN and Dona Bertarelli Philanthropy, examines whether the financial promises of deep-sea mining stand up to independent scrutiny.

By stress-testing the industry’s own economic projections, the report finds that, in most realistic scenarios, the promised benefits may not materialize, while significant financial risks remain for governments and sponsoring states.

These findings contribute to the growing discussion around a precautionary approach to activities in the deep sea.
