The Marshall Islands has told the United Nations General Assembly it opposes any plans to mine the seabed, a stance 180 degrees opposite Nauru's, which has called to "accelerate efforts without delay" to deep sea mining.
On the opening day of the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, Nauru's President David Adeang advocated for deep sea mining as an economic opportunity, saying "We cannot let fear and misinformation hold us back" to "seize the opportunity...to decarbonise our planet".
