Manzanillo, Mexico – Greenpeace activists from Mexico and Aotearoa (New Zealand) have peacefully confronted a deep sea mining ship off the coast of Manzanillo, México this afternoon as it returned to port from the Pacific. Activists protested in a kayak holding banners that read “Stop Deep Sea Mining”.
Greenpeace Aotearoa campaigner James Hita, onboard a small vessel off the Manzanillo coast, delivered a message of protest to the captain of the deep sea mining ship, Hidden Gem, via radio.
“We are here today because deep sea mining threatens the health of the ocean and the lives and livelihoods of all who depend on it. The ocean is home to over 50% of life on Earth and one of our biggest allies in fighting the climate crisis. We will not stand by while mining companies begin to plunder the seafloor for profit,” said Hita.
