Massive news that this has passed. One of the things they don’t mention (unless I missed it) is this will allow for the regulation of deep sea mining which looked like it was about to get going in a completely unregulated way.

Interesting that the Guardian report says that China helped broker the deal - so I presume that it either doesn't limit the claims of the Chinese in the South China Sea (or worse, promotes them).Grumble wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 6:42 amhttps://www.theguardian.com/environment ... SApp_Other
