Jamaica Says No To Deep Sea Mining
On 31 March, 2023, Jamaicans under the leadership of the Jamaica Climate Change Youth Council held a protest to tell delegates attending the International Seabed Authority's meeting that they must protect the planet's oceans and ban seabed mining, because such mining would cause unimaginable damage to marine ecologies that we all depend upon for oxygen, food, water, carbon sequestration, climate regulation, culture, and connectivity, but of which humans have very little understanding or knowledge.
The delegates of the ISA, without any oversight or input from the inhabitants of the world, are deciding the fate and future of the planet. By not voting for a moratorium on seabed mining, by permitting seabed mining and allowing seabed mining in the open oceans to legally start in July 2023, they are enabling reckless extractivism to spread to the most important part of our planet - our oceans and seas.

The International Seabed Authority is headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica. ISA "is an autonomous international organization established under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement relating to the Implementation of Part XI of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (1994 Agreement)." It is "the organization through which States Parties to UNCLOS organize and control all mineral-resources-related activities in the Area for the benefit of humankind as a whole. In so doing, ISA has the mandate to ensure the effective protection of the marine environment from harmful effects that may arise from deep-seabed-related activities." (www.isa.org.jm/about-isa/)

10 years ago. What is the plan now?
Yes‼️Where next⁉️
I am from Crownlands, Trelawny, the highest peak in the Cockpit country. You can see Falmouth from Crownlamds. No mining in our Cockpit Country‼️
Grass, grass everywhere‼️That grass is not indigenous to Jamaica. What is this⁉️They destroyed Jamaica
Great video - greatly enriched by meeting the locals! This part of Jamaica is not often visited by tourists; I taught in Jamaica for some years but I hardly went there; I visited the Blue Mountains often. The word cockpit refers to a shallow cave. And there are many here. The region is covered with limestone which dissolves readily in rainwater to produce depressions and caves. Keep up the good work!

All together now.. "One love, one heart, let's get together and ban deep sea mining"
Sea bed mining is such a shit idea🤦 There's nothing we won't fuck up..🤦🤦
Brilliant activism and solidarity with small island states opposing deep sea mining. Well done!

Absolutely love this. It's encouraging.

Monnaie, servitude et liberté. La. répression monétaire en Afrique (Tchundang . Joseph). Main basse sur le Cameroun (Mongo Béti).. Nations Nègres et Culture (Cheik Anta Diop). Remember Ruben. (Mongo Béti) QUAND L'AFRICAIN ETAIT L'OR NOIR DE L'EUROPE (BWEMBA BONG) ................................ Jacques Chirac : "Nous avons saigné l’Afrique pendant quatre siècles et demi" Durant sa présidence, qui a duré 12 ans, Jacques Chirac a défendu l'Afrique contre vents et marées. Même à la retraite, il a dénoncé ceux qui ont saigné ce continent pendant des siècles, y compris son propre pays. Malgré les critiques sur le clientélisme de la Françafrique et son soutien aux régimes corrompus, Jacques Chirac garde une image plutôt positive auprès des Africains. Article rédigé par Martin Mateso France Télévisions Rédaction Afrique Publié le 26/09/2019 Mis à jour le 26/09/2019 Jacques Chirac accueilli par la population de Tombouctou au Mali, le 24 octobre 2003. (REUTERS/PHILIPPE WOJAZER) "J’aime l’Afrique, ses territoires, ses peuples et ses cultures. Je mesure ses besoins, je comprends ses aspirations." Ainsi s’exprimait Jacques Chirac devant les représentants de 48 Etats africains réunis au sommet franco-africain de Cannes en février 2007. Le président français s’était interrogé sur la place de l’Afrique dans la mondialisation. L'Afrique, disait-t-il, "ce sont des crises, des blessures au flanc du monde dont la communauté internationale ne peut détourner les yeux". Il mettait alors en garde contre l’abandon de ce continent qui pourrait "une nouvelle fois, être mis au pillage, laissé pour compte de la prospérité et isolé dans ses difficultés". Un discours-testament salué par les nombreux chefs d’Etats africains, venus le remercier pour avoir été leur infatigable avocat sur la scène internationale. "Qu’on rende aux Africains ce qu’on leur a pris" Tout le temps de sa présidence, Jacques Chirac s’est fait l’avocat de l’Afrique dont les immenses ressources naturelles attisent bien des convoitises. Même parti à la retraite, l’ancien chef de l’Etat n’a pas rompu le contact avec le continent. Bien au contraire. Dans une interview accordée à la presse après son départ de l’Elysée, Jacques Chirac a reconnu que les richesses de l’Afrique ont été pillées y compris par son pays. Et il a demandé qu’on rende aux Africains ce qu’on leur a pris : "On oublie seulement une chose. C’est qu’une grande partie de l’argent qui est dans notre porte-monnaie vient précisément de l’exploitation, depuis des siècles, de l’Afrique. Pas uniquement. Mais beaucoup vient de l’exploitation de l'Afrique. Alors, il faut avoir un petit peu de bon sens. Je ne dis pas de générosité. De bon sens, de justice, pour rendre aux Africains, je dirais, ce qu’on leur a pris. D’autant que c’est nécessaire, si on veut éviter les pires convulsions ou difficultés, avec les conséquences politiques que ça comporte dans un proche avenir." Parmi les initiatives prises par l’ancien président en faveur de l’Afrique, on peut citer la "taxe Chirac", une taxe sur le billet d’avion pour alimenter le Fonds mondial contre le sida, la tuberculose et le paludisme. Jacques Chirac fut le porte-parole acharné de l’Afrique à l’ONU, où les pays africains le lui rendaient bien. En 2003, ils ont largement soutenu sa position sur la guerre irakienne. Des critiques sur son soutien "aux dictateurs africains" Jacques Chirac entretenait des relations personnelles et chaleureuses avec la plupart des dirigeants du pré carré francophone. On peut citer parmi eux, le Congolais Denis Sassou Nguesso, le Gabonais Omar Bongo, le Sénégalais Abdou Diouf, ou le Camerounais Paul Biya. Ce qui lui a valu des critiques en France, mais aussi en Afrique. Lors du sommet franco-africain de Yaoundé au Cameroun en janvier 2001, l’épiscopat français avait publié une lettre qui invitait Jacques Chirac à prendre ses distances avec des régimes africains "qui pratiquent la fraude électorale, la confiscation des ressources, l’emprisonnement et parfois même l’élimination physique". Le journal Le Monde avait rapporté la réponse véhémente de Jacques Chirac, lors d’un entretien improvisé avec quelques journalistes à Yaoundé. Le chef de l’Etat, écrit le journal, se métamorphosa subitement en un avocat de l’Afrique contre l’Eglise donneuse de leçons. "Nous avons saigné l'Afrique pendant quatre siècles et demi, commença-t-il. Ensuite, nous avons pillé ses matières premières ; après, on a dit : 'Ils (les Africains) ne sont bons à rien.' Au nom de la religion, on a détruit leur culture et maintenant, comme il faut faire les choses avec plus d'élégance, on leur pique leurs cerveaux grâce aux bourses. Puis, on constate que la malheureuse Afrique n'est pas dans un état brillant, qu'elle ne génère pas d'élites. Après s'être enrichi à ses dépens, on lui donne des leçons." Jacques Chirac avec les chefs d'Etats du pré carré français lors du 10e sommet de la Francophonie à Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), le 26 novembre 2004. (REUTERS) Aujourd'hui, les pays du pré carré français s'émancipent progressivement de la tutelle parisienne. Lors du sommet franco-africain de Cannes en 2007, l’ancien président de la commission de l'Union africaine, le Malien Alpha Oumar Konaré, avait donné le ton. Il avait souhaité que "les 53 pays africains ne se retrouvent plus autour du président français". Un tel schéma, disait-il, ne devrait plus se reproduire qu’au niveau de l’Europe. Avant de quitter le devant de la scène, Jacques Chirac avait compris que le tête-à-tête entre Paris et ses anciennes colonies africaines était bel et bien terminé. Que le continent attirait de nouveaux partenaires venus du monde entier. "Les regards changent. L’Afrique commence à être entourée, voire courtisée", avait déclaré Jacques Chirac devant ses pairs africains. Promettant aux Africains le soutien sans faille de son pays pour que "l’insertion de l’Afrique dans les échanges internationaux se fasse dans le respect de l’équité".

They should have a zip line in the Cockpit area to show the beauty from above,looking down.

Everything is to be done to protect this area. It must be left untouched. More than 20 years ago, I visited on a school trip and that the only place in jamaica I saw a parrot 🦜 in the wild. It a beautiful place and I trust that it remain in its original form .

I wonder if our government 🤔knows this about our beautiful cockpit country. If the government does, it would not have be leasing the parts of the land to bauxite company for mining. Shame-shame-same. The tourism that they so glory in will be no more because they destory our land of wood and water. No to mining in the cockpit. That's my home. See the VICE Documentary about it.
Jamaicans, get up, stand up for our cockpit country!! Jamaica, a land of wood and water. If mining takes place, the beauty of our nation will be no more.

Come on, we need to save our cockpit country. No mining!
Never heard of this iland great
this is stupidity
Cockpit country is a great and wonderful place, we as a people must protect it for our future generations.
Very sad.Please save Font Hill from development.😥🙏
Who are the politicians making these Trade Agreements that rape-the-landscape? Vote them out-of-office, as a start not forgetting the area's heritage ...
Very informative, I love listening to this guy, accurate
Do not,do not let any mining on the cockpit.Holness born in Kingston these damn people understand concrete only
