Vulnerable coastal communities, especially in the  Global South , will pay the highest price. Peer-reviewed science shows that deep sea mining is almost certain to cause lasting damage to deep sea ecosystems.

Deep sea mining could harm the fish populations that provide food and livelihoods for many Indigenous Pacific communities. These communities have profound cultural and spiritual ties with the sea.
