Kiwis Against Seabed Mining
@kasm-nz.bsky.social
Fighting on behalf of communities in Aotearoa to protect our oceans from seabed mining. Toitū Te Tiriti.
Trans Tasman Resources' 100% owner, Australian company Manuka Resources (MKR),yesterday published its annual report, which contains this warning from the auditors.
Yet this company is now selling shares on the NZX.

The New Plymouth District Council just voted overwhelmingly to oppose #seabedmining! Absolutely awesome mahi by Councillor Amanda Clinton-Gohdes for her incredibly detailed proposal. Absolute legend. But totally the right decision!

here's the second lot - from Port Waikato north.
... because if the TTR Taranaki project goes ahead, this opens the floodgates to all the other mining companies who want to get to our black sand

Are you a surfer? Do you love & want to protect our Moana? This Sunday: World Oceans Day - there will be paddle-outs across the North Island's west coast in opposition to #seabed mining, from Pōneke all the way up to Maukatia (Māori) Bay near Muriwai. Can't fit them all in one post! #kikorangi 🧵

Second tranche of this process, designed to shut out the public voice. #kikorangi

Wannabe (Australian) seabed miners Trans Tasman Resources have applied for fast-track consent to dig up 50m tonnes of the seabed a year and dump 45m tonnes back down.
By our reckoning, 9 May is when the EPA must mark the application as “complete”.
Here, we set out the fast-track process

Wannabe seabed miner TTR is claiming it's done “thousands of hours” of marine mammal survey flights over the Sth Taranaki Bight (and found nothing).
This is a complete fabrication. They've done NO surveys: missing in last year’s hearing & called for by the EPA in 2014 when refusing consent
