Greenpeace Aotearoa<p>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. <br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/BanSeabedMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BanSeabedMining</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ProtectTheOceans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheOceans</span></a><br><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360763742/minister-proud-potshots-seabed-mine-culture-war" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360763742/</span><span class="invisible">minister-proud-potshots-seabed-mine-culture-war</span></a></p>
Greenpeace Aotearoa<p>The owners of wannabe seabed miners Trans-Tasman Resources face complaints that they've misled investors. TTR and its Aussie owners Manuka Resources are not to be trusted, displaying a complete lack of transparency throughout the whole process. <br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/BanSeabedMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BanSeabedMining</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ProtectTheOceans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheOceans</span></a><br><a href="https://www.nbr.co.nz/investment/manuka-faces-disclosure-complaint/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nbr.co.nz/investment/manuka-fa</span><span class="invisible">ces-disclosure-complaint/</span></a></p>

Greenpeace International<p>This <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WorldSharkDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WorldSharkDay</span></a>, we’re reminded that destructive fishing practices kill hundreds of thousands of sharks each year to the point where THREE QUARTERS of the species are at risk of global extinction.</p><p>Recently, Greenpeace Australia Pacific seized almost 20 km of deadly longline gear in the South Pacific during an action. They also managed to free nine sharks, including this blue shark.

Greenpeace Aotearoa<p>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. <br><a href="https://mas.to/tags/BanSeabedMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BanSeabedMining</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ProtectTheOceans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTheOceans</span></a><br><a href="https://www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360727597/seabed-mining-company-wants-iwi-involvement-project" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thepost.co.nz/nz-news/36072759</span><span class="invisible">7/seabed-mining-company-wants-iwi-involvement-project</span></a></p>
