Scientists are still discovering thousands of new species in the deep ocean. But deep sea mining has the potential to be disastrous for our oceans, not only disturbing the depths but entire ecosystems up through the top of the waves.

Imagine what discoveries await us in the deep blue sea. The impacts of mining the ocean floor could kill off these animals before we ever meet them.

Tell your member of Congress that you support halting deep sea mining before any damage is done.
