Tetiaroa Society, through its Blue Climate Initiative, brought together indigenous leaders from 49 countries and 71 indigenous groups to sign a petition calling for a moratorium on deep sea mining. The presentation of this petition at a meeting of the International Seabed Authority in Jamaica had - and is continuing to have - a significant impact on the deliberations. Working on this petition was an invaluable opportunity for us to build a powerful network of indigenous communities across the Pacific.
