WATCH! Talk show host John Oliver picks up on the absurdity of deep-sea mining!

‘Last Week Tonight’ dedicated a whole episode to the speculative and entirely reckless industry of deep-sea mining, articulating clearly why trashing the ocean for metals is such a bad idea. And in true John Oliver style, he makes the case hilariously.

I am also super happy and proud to share that the show used clips from the award-winning film In Too Deep: The True Cost of Deep-Sea Mining. A film I initiated, led  co-produced.

That someone like John Oliver, with a massive following, has picked up on the absurdity of deep-sea mining is excellent news for the campaign. It is beyond time that the threat of deep-sea mining is exposed and picked up by media outlets everywhere. We can’t sit back and wait for this disaster to happen. We actually have the power to ensure that deep-sea mining on the High Seas never gets the green light. 💪🏽💙🌊

My next step is to take the campaign on the road with The Ocean Hope Expedition. Join and support me on this journey so that together we can stop deep-sea mining from starting! 

Grab some popcorn (or gummy squirrels 😂 ) and watch the John Oliver Show! But before you do, please give what you can. Protecting the ocean is everyone's business. We can't do it alone. Thank you!
