What is the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition?

The DSCC is made up of over 100 non-government organizations, fishers organizations and law and policy institutes working together to protect vulnerable deep-sea ecosystems. We aim to substantially reduce the greatest threats to life in the deep sea and to safeguard the long-term health, integrity and resilience of deep-sea ecosystems.

Our main focus is on ensuring the sustainability of deep-sea fisheries and addressing the potential threat of deep-sea mining.
