Environmental groups urge NOAA to reject a deep-sea mining permit due to ecological risks and lack of scientific knowledge.
Environmental groups including Greenpeace USA, Friends of Animals, Deep Sea Defenders, and SeaLegacy have urged the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to deny a deep seabed mining exploration permit申请 by The Metals Company in the Pacific Ocean.
They cited risks of irreversible harm to fragile marine ecosystems, biodiversity loss, and insufficient scientific understanding of deep-sea environments.
The organizations called for a precautionary approach, stronger regulations, and a moratorium on mining until comprehensive environmental assessments are completed.
Their comments are part of broader public engagement as NOAA evaluates the application under federal oversight.
