Kent PitmanWhenever I see pieces by Nnimmo Bassey go by, I know there's going to be something of importance within.Take note of the fact that the referenced page has two tabs, a "Full Article" and a "Quick Read". If you're in a hurry, go for the latter. But the Full Article is full of useful detail.There's lots of good information in the full article that is not commonly discussed, so I recommend that. But I'll just grab a few excerpts here that illustrate the breadth of discussion: «The corporate extractive sector, in particular, has been looking for new territories to extract minerals such as manganese, cobalt, copper, nickel, and rare earth elements. This has become increasingly problematic due to the risks involved in resource extraction. Though the ocean may seem like an unlimited expanse that profiteers exploit purely for financial gain, it has natural limits.“[A]lthough scientists and campaigners have been warning of the consequences of our rampant exploitation for decades, time is now running out to protect our oceans,” Hugo Tagholm, executive director of Oceana in the UK, and Callum Roberts, a professor of marine conservation at the Center for Ecology and Conservation at the University of Exeter, wrote in EuroNews in November 2023. “We like to think of our ocean as infinite, but the truth is, it cannot stand this industrial-scale exploitation.”»and later«When governments and corporations decide what should be done, they often ignore the people closest to the water and the fact that they know more about what is necessary to protect it. It gets more troubling when the uninhabited deep sea is discussed. For example, in Nigeria, Shell Oil is selling off its onshore oil fields and moving operations to the deep sea, where there is limited oversight on the damage being done. Even if the harm being done in the deep sea stays out of sight, its results still affect everyone onshore. This is a major reason for the concern anywhere in the world that is near the water.»The ‘Blue Economy’ Myth: We Have to Stop Thinking the Ocean Can Be Run Like a Business <a href="https://observatory.wiki/The_%E2%80%98Blue_Economy%E2%80%99_Myth:_We_Have_to_Stop_Thinking_Like_the_Ocean_Can_Be_Run_Like_a_Business" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://observatory.wiki/The_%E2%80%98Blue_Economy%E2%80%99_Myth:_We_Have_to_Stop_Thinking_Like_the_Ocean_Can_Be_Run_Like_a_Business</a><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueEconomy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/OceanConservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OceanConservation</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/MarineEcosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MarineEcosystems</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ocean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ocean</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fishing</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mining</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pollution</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/extractivism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#extractivism</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/externalities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#externalities</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/oil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#oil</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/OilSpills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OilSpills</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueWashing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlueWashing</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#environment</a>
