Native America Calling: Indigenous resistance to deep-sea mining
Monday, April 17, 2023
Indigenous resistance to deep-sea mining
Researchers and environmental advocates don’t know much yet about mining minerals off the bottom of the ocean floor.
But the race to learn is on because large mining companies will soon start scooping up unrefined cobalt, manganese, copper, and nickel from the sea bed to help satisfy growing demand for such metals for things like batteries. The environmental activist group Greenpeace lists Indigenous groups from at least 34 nations that have come out against the practice.

Guests on Native America Calling
Today on Native America Calling, we do a deep dive with:
Dr. Brittany Kamai (Native Hawaiian), astrophysicist, water woman, and ocean advocate
Noah Paoa (Rapa Nui), Ph.D candidate with a focus on sea level rise at the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology.
Greenpeace has brought a delegation of Pacific activists, aboard the Arctic Sunrise, one of Greenpeace’s ships, to have their say in advocating for the “protection of Te Moana-nui-ā-Kiwa, the Pacific Ocean.”
