The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) comprises over 100 member organizations, from non-government organizations and fishers organizations to law and policy institutes worldwide, working together under the umbrella of the DSCC to protect vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems and safeguard long-term health, integrity and resilience of this crucial part of the ocean. In this time of converging biodiversity and climate crises, protecting the ocean – our planet’s life support system – is more critical than ever. The DSCC works to ensure the continued health and productivity of deep-sea habitats and species. Our top priority is the urgent closure of all vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) of the deep sea to any form of exploitation. #DefendTheDeep / #DeepSea / #BottomTrawling / #SaveOurSeamounts / #DeepSeaMining / #SeabedMining / #Seamounts
