Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)OpposeAdvocacy
Summary: The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) opposes the issuance of deep seabed mining exploration licenses to American Metal Resources, LLC and SeaX, Inc. They argue that there is insufficient scientific knowledge to evaluate the environmental impacts, that the applications are defective, and that the U.S. should instead support a moratorium on deep-sea mining.
