Norway's Mining Plans Prompt Environmental Concerns
Norway is increasingly focused on deep-sea mining, raising alarms among various groups. The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) along with the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) vehemently support the Long Distance Advisory Council’s stance advocating for a moratorium. Their call highlights crucial environmental issues and urges for comprehensive assessments before any further mining pursuits.
