Trump administration pushes deep-sea mining, environmentalists resist

Original: The Trump administration wants to invade the deep sea – but you can tell them not to

The Trump administration is moving to open the deep sea to industrial mining, a plan Greenpeace and other environmental groups are urging the public to oppose. Critics say deep-sea extraction could cause irreversible damage to fragile marine ecosystems that are still poorly understood. Campaigners are calling on people to submit objections and pressure officials to halt the plans.

Why now: A new government push toward deep-sea mining has triggered environmental opposition and public comment campaigns.
