We are only beginning to discover the diversity, interconnections, and importance of life in the deep ocean—and how it shapes the health of our entire planet. 🌏🌊

Right now, this extraordinary ecosystem is under serious threat from deep sea mining. But here’s the good news: it hasn’t started yet. Together, we have the chance to raise our voices, stand in solidarity, and call for a moratorium to protect these fragile environments before it’s too late.

This month’s Green Drinks dives into what’s at stake and how we can defend the deep.

🗣️ Roz Rolls – Permaculture Teacher and Chairperson of the Cook Islands–based organisation kiaTAERIA (Towards Awareness of our Environmental Responsibility and Individual Action) – will share her insights on the deep ocean and the urgent need to safeguard it.
