The Deep Sea Mining Campaign focuses on science-based advocacy, financial strategy, and solidarity with frontline communities to drive our mission

Since 2011 the Deep Sea Mining Campaign (DSMC) has been campaigning against deep sea mining. With a consistent focus on this emerging and very real threat to our oceans, we pursue an intersecting three-part campaign strategy to prevent irreversible damage to oceans by stopping deep sea mining before it starts. 

Our unique approach combines research and evidence-based advocacy, finance advocacy and solidarity with frontline communities as well as regional and international partners and networks.

Join us in this crucial fight for our shared future and to protect the global commons.

SCIENCE-BASED ADVOCACY

We conduct rigorous science-based advocacy compiling high-quality research that provides transparent and evidence-based insights, essential for informed decision-making. Our findings and recommendations are designed to support the creation of effective policies that prioritise long-term environmental and economic sustainability. Learn more

FINANCE ADVOCACY

We provide investors with essential resources to safeguard both their financial interests and reputations. We advocate for responsible investment practices, urging the exclusion of deep sea mining from portfolios and promoting sustainable investment alternatives. Learn more

SOLIDARITY

We stand united with Indigenous Peoples and coastal communities across the Pacific who are leading the charge against deep sea mining. Inspired by their activism and leadership, we collaborate strategically with both regional and global partners to amplify their voices and support their efforts. Learn more
