The #DeepOcean is home to fragile #ecosystems, unique #species, and critical #CarbonSinks that help regulate global #climate. #Mining the ocean floor will destroy these ecosystems and release toxic #pollutants, leading to irreparable damage to ocean #biodiversity.
We know this is a longer post, but understanding the full context is crucial. The fact that #companies can now exploit this #loophole in #InternationalWaters
This is a battle we cannot afford to lose. If we allow this to happen, we may never be able to undo the damage. The #ocean has been taken for granted for too long, but we can still act, now.
Thanks to a legal #loophole in #USLaw, deep-sea mining in international waters has just become one step closer to reality, and the consequences for #MarineEcosystems could be catastrophic.

By Sergei Ezhov
They exploit a #loophole that allows firms to operate freely in #EU markets so long as sanctioned individuals hold less than 50% of the company’s shares.
The InsiderThe regime's minority stakeholders: Key Putin oligarchs still profiting from trade with Europe, despite sanctionsCompanies partially owned by billionaires closely tied to Vladimir Putin continue to export their products to Western markets without disruption. An investigation by The Insider revealed that even individuals under sanctions are earning billions from deals with EU countries. They exploit a loophole that allows firms to operate freely in EU markets so long as sanctioned individuals hold less than 50% of the company’s shares.
