Our objectives are to raise public awareness of current proposals, inform as to the consequences of those proposals, and ensure that current and future governments stop considering these and any future seabed mining operations. In so doing, we intend to protect and preserve these areas of coastline for future generations to enjoy.

Written in July 2005 [and now released on OP-ED: Environmental / Social / Political] in support of this campaign, ‘Kiwis Against Seabed Mining’ as a song aims to draw attention its namesake organisation and to the recklessness of this mining activity.
