Greenpeace Activists Occupy A Mining Research Ship In The Pacific, Costing The Mining Company $1 Million Daily

Greenpeace activists kept occupying a deep sea mining research vessel in the Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, while the mining firm in charge of the expedition petitioned a Dutch court to halt the protest, which it claimed was costing it $1 million per day.

The research trip is being carried out by the subsidiary of The Metals Company (TMC). This Canadian company wants to seek the world’s first deep-sea mining license in international waters next year.
