Successful Petition Delivery in the Netherlands - Thanks to YOU!

We did it! We successfully delivered our petition to the Dutch Parliament calling on the The Netherlands and all countries to say NO to deep-sea mining! More than 340,000 of you have already signed! Thanks to 'Partij voor de Dieren' for pushing our government on this issue. We need more Dutch political parties to speak out. Which party will be next?

Deep-sea mining is an ecological distaster that will worsen the climate and biodiversity crises. Deep-sea mining is ecocide!

A big thank you to everyone who signed the petition and joined us on the day.

We will not stop here! We must keep the pressure on the Dutch government until they join the growing chorus of nations that say NO to deep-sea mining.

Please support us so we can take this petition beyond The Netherlands. More countries must speak out before the next meeting of the International Seabed Authority this summer.

Keep signing & sharing this petition. Together we can stop a disaster before it begins.

Get inspired by some of the great photos that captured the day! Press Release sent to media (in Dutch).

Thank you, Dank jullie allemaal,

- Farah Obaidullah (Founder Women4Oceans)
