The draft Critical Raw Materials Act text, in its current form, does not exclude deep-sea mining from its scope. Article 2(6) includes mineral occurrence(s) under water within its definition of extractive activities under the scope of the regulation, which essentially refers to seabed mining.

What they argued
Within the European Union, ocean leadership must be demonstrated through action, not declarations. As biodiversity loss accelerates, the climate warms, and pressures on the deep sea intensify, the EU needs a strong, coherent, and fully implemented framework for ocean governance.
The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) supports the key objectives for the update of the EU Arctic Policy, specifially as related to promoting conservation and sustainable fisheries management; combatting climate change to preserve Arctic ecosystems; and promoting peace, stability, and cooperation.
The Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) comprises more than 130 organizations globally, working to ensure the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems and deep-sea biodiversity from destructive practices. The DSCC holds observer status and is actively engaged in all deep-sea Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), as well as CCAMLR and CAOFA.
