JOIN THE WORLD’S LARGEST OCEAN DISPUTE
TAKE ACTION
The deep ocean is the largest living space on Earth, home to 95% of all life, with millions of
species yet to be discovered. It is also our planet's largest carbon sink, crucial to
stabilizing our climate.
But right now, a vast area of the deep seabed in the Pacific—an area the size of India—is
being quietly negotiated away behind closed doors by corporations eager to mine it for
metals.
If approved, it would become the world’s largest mine, with potentially catastrophic
environmental consequences.
The deep seabed doesn’t belong to corporations or nations. It belongs to all of us.
Under the United Nations Law of the Sea, the deep seabed is the common heritage of
humankind. It's a birthright for us and for future generations.
Together, we can protect this vital ecosystem from the largest ocean grab in history.
RECLAIM THE DEEP
The World’s Largest Ocean Dispute is a groundbreaking campaign, aiming to unite millions
of people worldwide to take direct action against deep seabed mining.
We’ve divided the area at risk into 8.17 billion GPS coordinates—one for every person on the
planet. Each coordinate is your chance to freely claim the deep seabed back.
When you claim your coordinate, you receive a DEEPSEA NFT / Birthright Certificate
featuring one of 14 stunning deep-sea lifeforms. This certificate is available in 90
languages and is your transparent, inclusive proof of collective stewardship for our
planet’s future, upholding the principles of the common heritage.
By joining the movement, you’ll send a clear message to the International Seabed Authority
— the United Nations instrument responsible for managing the seafloor on behalf of
humanity — that the deep seabed is ours it is not for sale and must be protected.
The seabed is humanity’s shared birthright, not a resource to be exploited for profit.
Reclaim it today for the sake of all life on Earth and future generations.

I’ve taken a stand against deep sea mining, and you can too! 🌊 Did you know the deep #ocean is the largest living habitat on Earth? By absorbing carbon, stabilizing temperatures, and supporting unique ecosystems, it also acts as a vital climate regulator. Beneath the Pacific Ocean lies an area the size of India, reserved for mining. If the International Seabed Authority (ISA) grants permission, this region will become the largest mine on Earth, causing irreparable harm to the deep sea and the planet. But the #seabed doesn’t belong to corporations—it belongs to all of us. The United Nations Law of the Sea states that the deep seabed in international waters is the common heritage of humankind. That means it is OUR birthright. Here’s the good news: You can help protect it. @DeepRisingmovie has divided the seabed at risk into 8.17 billion GPS coordinates—one for every person on Earth. By visiting their platform, you can freely reclaim your portion, not for profit, but for its stewardship and protection. And it’s completely free. When you stake your claim, you’ll receive your personalized DEEPSEA NFT— a digital Birthright Certificate — stamped with your unique GPS coordinates and featuring one of 14 unsung heroes of the deep. These lifeforms represent all the incredible creatures, known and unknown, that work tirelessly to keep our planet alive. By joining us, you’ll send a clear message to the International Seabed Authority —the body responsible for managing the seafloor on behalf of humanity—that the deep seabed must be protected, not exploited. By staking your claim, you’re acting on behalf of all humanity and future generations to stop the destruction of our shared ocean heritage. This is our planet’s stability at stake.

According to the UN Law of the Sea, it’s the common heritage of humankind — meant to be protected for humanity and future generations. I didn’t give permission for anyone to destroy this crucial part of our planet. Did you? That’s why I’ve joined The World’s Largest Ocean Dispute.
