&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;April 9, Bengaluru: &lt;/em&gt;Indian activists have joined worldwide environment conservationists and oceanographers in opposing the recently announced Deep Ocean Mission by the Government of India.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Mineral Inheritors Rights Association (MIRA) &amp;ndash; an association of several civil society groups and networks in India &amp;ndash; has called for a &amp;ldquo;moratorium&amp;rdquo; on the proposal by the government to explore the ocean floor for minerals. A press release and a letter sent by the association to the secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences said the &amp;ldquo;mission will not only have a disastrous impact on the ocean ecosystem but would also deeply impact the lives &amp;amp; livelihoods of the local communities who are dependent on (the) ocean (sic).&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The MIRA statement came a week after global corporate giants Google, BMW, Volvo and Samsung announced their support to a moratorium on deep seabed mining for minerals to be used in electric vehicle batteries and other products. &amp;ldquo;It is increasingly becoming evident that deep sea mining would have disastrous impacts on the environment and humankind,&amp;rdquo; MIRA&amp;rsquo;s press release said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Quoted in MIRA&amp;rsquo;s press release, Nandikesh Sivalingam, Director of Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and a member of MIRA, remarked, &amp;ldquo;given our record on how we have dealt with environment destruction, pollution laws and community rights for surface mining, there is no evidence to suggest that deep sea mining would be done in any responsible manner&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

Indian Activists Join Global Opposition to Government’s Deep Ocean Mission -Abir Dasgupta

-Newsclick.in After the Union Government announced a mission to explore mining the Indian ocean floor for rare earth minerals in this year’s budget, environment conservationists and oceanographers in India are joining global calls for a moratorium on deep sea mining. April 9, Bengaluru: Indian activists have joined worldwide environment conservationists and oceanographers in opposing the recently announced Deep Ocean Mission by the Government of India. The Mineral Inheritors Rights Association (MIRA) – an association of several civil society groups and networks in India – has called for a “moratorium” on the proposal by the government to explore the ocean floor for minerals. A press release and a letter sent by the association to the secretary of the Ministry of Earth Sciences said the “mission will not only have a disastrous impact on the ocean ecosystem but would also deeply impact the lives & livelihoods of the local communities who are dependent on (the) ocean (sic).” The MIRA statement came a week after global corporate giants Google, BMW, Volvo and Samsung announced their support to a moratorium on deep seabed mining for minerals to be used in electric vehicle batteries and other products. “It is increasingly becoming evident that deep sea mining would have disastrous impacts on the environment and humankind,” MIRA’s press release said. Quoted in MIRA’s press release, Nandikesh Sivalingam, Director of Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and a member of MIRA, remarked, “given our record on how we have dealt with environment destruction, pollution laws and community rights for surface mining, there is no evidence to suggest that deep sea mining would be done in any responsible manner”.
