Stop Trump's Attempt to Mine the Ocean Floor

President Trump just signed an executive order to greenlight deep-sea mining in U.S. and international waters—a reckless giveaway to corporate polluters that puts our oceans in grave danger.

This is a direct assault on the ocean floor—one of the last untouched wild places on Earth. Seabed mining rips up fragile ecosystems, threatens marine life, and could trigger irreversible climate consequences. Scientists are sounding the alarm, but Trump is ignoring the warnings to line the pockets of mining executives.

But there’s still time to stop this. Congress can block funding, ban permits, and slam the brakes on Trump's plan. All it takes is action—and public pressure.

With this executive order, Trump is ignoring science and thumbing his nose at global cooperation. By brushing off a United Nations-backed moratorium, Trump is dragging the U.S. down a reckless, isolated path.

This is a fight for our oceans, our planet, and our future. Deep-sea mining would devastate biodiversity, accelerate climate chaos, and trample on Indigenous rights. It’s everything we’re fighting against—corporate greed, environmental destruction, and unchecked power.

Tell Congress: Shut this down. Pass legislation to block deep-sea mining before it’s too late. We can’t let Trump sacrifice our oceans for corporate profits.
