join the world's largest ocean dispute

We can still stop the destruction of our planet's last pristine wilderness.
The seabed is humanity’s birthright, not a resource for the profit of just a few.

Join the world's largest Ocean dispute

On December 10th, 1982, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was ratified, establishing guidelines for how nations govern and manage the world’s oceans beyond national jurisdictions.

The International Seabed Authority was born out of necessity to ensure the rightful enforcement of that Convention. Today, it has a dual mandate to protect and exploit the resources at or beneath the seabed, legally named “The Area.”

The Law of the Sea states :

ARTICLES 136
“The Area and its resources are the common heritage of mankind.”

ARTICLES 137
“No State shall claim or exercise sovereignty or sovereign rights over any part of the Area or its resources [and that] all rights in the resources of the Area are vested in mankind as a whole, on whose behalf the Authority shall act.”

Yet, an area of the seafloor the size of India has been allocated for deep seabed mining, benefiting only a few.

By upholding the fundamental principles of the Law of the Sea, Deep Rising has subdivided each plot into 8.17 billion GPS coordinates, allowing each of us to claim a piece—not for profit, but for stewardship, future generations, and the well-being of all life on Earth.

These coordinates represent tokenized BIRTHRIGHT CERTIFICATES that are transformed into a DEEPSEA NFT each time someone claims a section of the seabed.

Seaspiracy and Deep Rising have joined forces!
