Indigenous Knowledge Overlooked in Seafloor Mining Push
Original: Indigenous Peoples’ Knowledge Is Left Behind in the Rush to Mine the Seafloor
Advocacy group Earthworks is highlighting that Indigenous Peoples' knowledge and rights are being sidelined as countries and companies move to mine the deep seafloor for minerals. The group argues that decisions about seabed extraction are advancing without meaningful consultation of the Indigenous communities whose territories and waters are affected, adding to wider criticism of the emerging deep-sea mining industry.
Why now: Deep-sea mining is a live global debate as regulations near and criticism of its environmental and social impacts grows.
