We’re celebrating along with allies and friends the huge people-powered movement against seabed mining after Trans-Tasman Resources again had their plans to mine the Taranaki seabed rejected.
But the campaign continues to ban seabed mining in Aotearoa - for good!

Christopher Luxon’s handling of Trump’s push for critical minerals should worry anyone who cares about Aotearoa’s sovereignty, environment, and international standing.

Seabed mining is incompatible with the development of an offshore wind industry.

The fishing and offshore wind industries, boaties, surfers, divers, local councillors, iwi, scientists, environmental groups - all against Trans-Tasman Resources' seabed mining plans. TTR has failed again and again to convince the courts and the environmental authorities that seabed mining won't harm the beautiful South Taranaki Bight.

The sheer arrogance of this is eye watering.
The Australian mining company applying to mine the South Taranaki seabed wants iwi to jump on board and “get to work keeping an eye on the environment” whether they want seabed mining or not.

Trans-Tasman Resources' chair Alan Eggers fails to read the room. All eight Taranaki iwi oppose TTR's destructive seabed mining plans. TTR is banking on getting the go-ahead via the Luxon government's fast track process. TTR wants to suck up 50 million tons of iron sand every year for 35 years to extract vanadium, iron and titanium. Experts say it will have a devastating impact on rare marine life.

Trans-Tasman Resources has failed again and again to alleviate concerns that its seabed mining project won't cause environmental harm in the beautiful South Taranaki Bight. Taranaki Regional Council needs to listen to the local community, iwi and hapū, the fishing and offshore wind industries, surfers and boaties who're opposed to TTR's destructive seabed mining plans.

If the Luxon government allows Trans-Tasman Resources to start seabed mining off the coast of Taranaki, it could pave the way for a deep sea mining free-for-all around the Pacific.
