Seabed mining in the South Taranaki Bight is incompatible with the development of an offshore wind industry. The Luxon government has an unhealthy fixation on extractive industries and fossil fuels, instead of paving the way for a renewable energy source.

Come and join the big Paddle Out at Muriwai Beach this Sunday 8 June to protest against seabed mining.

That’s why we’re asking him to go further: commit to banning seabed mining entirely. No consents. No ocean destruction.

Our new seabed mining petition calls on Labour leader Chris Hipkins to take a stand against seabed mining. He says he's opposed but has so far not committed to overturning any seabed mining consents which could be granted under the Luxon government's fast track process.
#banseabedmining
The Luxon Govt is hell-bent on starting seabed mining, but they won't be around forever.
If the Labour Party commits to cancelling any fast-tracked seabed mining consents when they are next in Government, it could be enough to stop it ever happening.

Over 4,300 people have signed our new petition calling on opposition leader Chris Hipkins to pledge that seabed mining will never take place under a Labour-led government.
Chris Hipkins has responded already, saying Labour opposes seabed mining. But he stopped short of a real commitment to overturn the project.
We need to build more pressure. Signing the petition and adding your voice will help press Chris Hipkins to take a stand.

The momentum against seabed mining is growing. A new group opposing South Taranaki seabed mining wants voters to use local elections to embolden councillors against wannabe miners.
Great to see Labour leader Chris Hipkins taking a stand against seabed mining just a day after Prime Minister Christopher Luxon defended its inclusion on the Government’s Fast-Track list. #BanSeabedMining #ProtectTheOceans

It was so good to be in Ōpunake to support a paddle-out in protest against seabed mining on the weekend. Great show of strength to send a message to Trans-Tasman Resources and the Luxon government that the Taranaki community says no to seabed mining.
If you want to help us in the fight against seabed mining, make sure to sign our petition that calls for Chris Hipkins to take a stand against this destructive industry.
The resistance to seabed mining is already very strong, but the movement still grows

NZ's wannabe Trump backs the wannabe seabed miners to rip up 50 million tons of the South Taranaki seabed every year for 35 years to get something we don't even need, while an Aussie mining company profits from the destruction.
