Is the economic situation in Papua New Guinea so desperate that we have to resort to Experimental Seabed Mining in order to survive? Is the risk worth taking? Is it worth sacrificing the health of our solwara so that OTHER PEOPLE can benefit at the expense of OUR PEOPLE?

The answers that many Papua New Guineans of expertise and experience have given over and over again is a simple NO!  Seabed Mining shouldn't be an option until the risks are studied carefully.
