It is within OUR Power
to Stop Deep Sea Mining!
Help us raise the first 50,000 Euro for our campaign to stop deep-sea mining.
The Ocean Hope Project, set to kick off in late August 2024, will be a journey across the western coast of the Americas, connecting people to the ocean and raising awareness of the dangers of deep sea mining. We will rally support calling on world leaders to put in place a moratorium on deep-sea mining before 2025.
The Pacific Ocean is ground zero for deep-sea mining, with the Clarion Clipperton Zone between Mexico and Hawaii being the first area targeted by speculative miners.
This journey engages communities, artists, local authorities and businesses along the Pacific rim, uniting to protect the world's largest ocean - their backyard.
Your contribution will be used to cover the logistics of the trip including staff support, train rides, lodging and video crew. The more money we raise the more places and people we can engage.
The power is ours! We are the voices for the planet and our own future. We must build on the global resistance to this reckless, out of touch, want-to-be industry and make sure deep-sea mining is not given the green light!
