Mission Blue has been working with allies in the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) to slow down efforts to expand deep sea mining, and increase the number of countries to ratify a moratorium on deep sea mining.

Policy influencing/advocacy
|
Mission Blue's policy lead, Max Bello, attended the International Seabed Authority (ISA) meeting in July 2024 as part of Chile's delegation, working closely with other Latin American countries on the voting for the new secretary general for the ISA. This contributed to replacing the previous secretary general, who seemed overly strongly aligned with the mining industry, with a new secretary general who has a background in marine science and a more independent view on deep sea mining.
