March 17, 2025, San Francisco, CA — Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) has launched the Deep Sea Academy, an online ocean advocacy training course led by world-class experts and those on the frontlines standing against deep-sea mining.
The independent science is clear and undeniable: deep-sea mining will disrupt and harm the deep sea’s unique biodiversity and the invaluable role it plays in ensuring the health of our ocean, climate, and planet.
For this critical reason, and many more, we are unwavering in our belief that deep-sea mining is a short-sighted, unjustified, and unacceptable threat to the ocean and the present and future generations that depend on it. With so much at stake, we are activating our community to take action and join the global campaign against deep-sea mining, starting by becoming an effective advocate.
In this multi-level course, the Deep Sea Academy will guide participants through learning modules, case studies, and training exercises that will help them gain comprehensive knowledge in:
-
Coalition Building
-
Grassroots Campaigning
-
Policy Advocacy
-
And More!
To participate in the Deep Sea Academy, individuals can sign up for the free course series through SOA’s online community platform here, hosted on Mighty Networks.
