‘World’s deepest banner protest’ launched at the bottom of the sea
Greenpeace has conducted the world's deepest banner protest at a depth of over 2,300 meters in the Norwegian Sea. The protest aims to raise awareness about the ecological risks of deep-sea mining, particularly in vulnerable ecosystems like Loki's Castle. This action coincides with growing international calls for a moratorium on deep-sea mining and the establishment of marine protected areas.
