Environment California: Tell NOAA - Don't allow deep sea mining

NOAA is about to decide whether or not to move towards deep sea mining that could demolish this area. Sitting on the seafloor are thousands of potato-sized nodules made of metals that act as anchors for sensitive sea life. Now mining companies want to vacuum up those nodules, which could kill everything that lives on them. And it's not just life on the seafloor that's in danger. The clicks of dolphins and songs of whales could be drowned out by underwater mining equipment. The area where The Metals Company wants to take the first steps towards deep sea mining is home to whales and dolphins. Extremely sensitive to noise, endangered sperm whales wouldn't be able to communicate with each other with the deafening sounds of underwater mining happening 24 hours a day. Take ACTION.
