Resistance to the mining of minerals from the seabed is now growing in many places.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The deep sea harbours the world's largest estimated mineral deposits, potentially worth trillions of dollars. Yet in recent weeks, Chile, Fiji, Palau and other countries have called for a moratorium on marine mineral extraction until there is a better understanding of the ecological consequences of destroying little-studied and unique deep-sea ecosystems that play an undetermined role in the global climate. At the United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, in June, French President Emmanuel Macron spoke out against the extraction of minerals from the seabed.<\/p>\n<p>The UN member states must \"create the legal framework to stop deep-sea mining and not allow any new activities that endanger these ecosystems\", said Macron on the sidelines of the conference on 30 June.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21382\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21382\" style=\"width: 244px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21382\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ISA_official_logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"244\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ISA_official_logo.jpg 275w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ISA_official_logo-150x150.jpg 150w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/ISA_official_logo-90x90.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21382\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ISA - official logo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The comments are notable, according to observers, because these countries are members of the International Seabed Authority (ISA, based in Kingston, Jamaica), the UN organisation set up to regulate deep-sea mining. Three of the countries - Chile, Fiji and France - sit on the ISA Council, the organisation's 36-nation policy-making body, which is meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, over the next two weeks to negotiate regulations that could allow mining to begin as early as 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Google and car manufacturers BMW, Renault, Volkswagen and Volvo have pledged not to use deep-sea metals for the time being, and 623 marine scientists and policy experts have signed a petition calling for a pause in the mining of metals from the seabed.<br \/>\nThe ISA consists of 167 member states and the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Source.
