Arctic seabed mining will cause 'irreversible harm' to wildlife says Greenpeace

Norway is planning to licence mining companies to explore for seabed minerals for use in technology such as batteries and electronics

Activists from Greenpeace International, Nordic and Germany, project messages from people opposing deep-sea mining onto the Svea Glacier in Spitsbergen.
