@blueplanetnow: In April 2025, the U.S. signed an executive order to fast-track deep-sea mining — not just in American waters, but even on parts of the ocean floor considered international territory. Just five days later, a company called The Metals Company submitted the world’s first-ever application for commercial deep-sea mining under U.S. law — bypassing the United Nations' regulatory system entirely. Scientists and environmental groups are warning this could trigger irreversible damage to deep-ocean ecosystems we barely understand — all for a few minerals used in phones and batteries. Is this leadership — or recklessness? #oceantock #ClimateCrisis #ecodisaster ocean pollution marine life environmental disaster climate change ocean conservation plastic in the ocean rising sea levels save the ocean Oil spill #DeepSeaMining #CorporateTakeover
