Calls grow for moratorium on seabed mining
The United Kingdom is the latest country calling for a moratorium on deep sea mining, making it the 23rd nation wanting a precautionary pause. The call came just before the International Seabed Authority or ISA meeting in Kingston Jamaica, for the third part of its 28th session, that started last Monday.
Other countries like New Zealand and France have also called for a deep-sea mining moratorium before it starts. However, the Pacific is divided with the Cook Islands and Nauru wanting it to go ahead and Fiji, Palau and Samoa being some of the nation's calling for a pause.
