来自马里亚纳的土著群体反对在环境和文化风险问题上进行深海采矿。 Indigenous groups from the Marianas oppose deep-sea mining over environmental and cultural risks.

来自北马里亚纳群岛和关岛的土著领袖和倡导者正式反对拟议在马里亚纳斯群岛进行深海采矿和近海租赁,理由是海洋生态系统、文化遗产和祖传水域面临风险。 Indigenous leaders and advocates from the Northern Mariana Islands and Guam have formally opposed proposed deep-sea mining and offshore leasing in the Marianas Archipelago, citing risks to marine ecosystems, cultural heritage, and ancestral waters. 令人关切的问题包括不可逆转的环境破坏、圣地被破坏以及与土著社区协商不足。 Concerns include irreversible environmental damage, disruption of sacred sites, and inadequate consultation with Indigenous communities. 反对派包括青年、民俗医士、部落理事会和政府委员会,它们都敦促联邦机构将生态完整性和土著权利置于资源开采之上,而将生态完整性和土著权利放在优先地位。 The opposition spans youth, healers, tribal councils, and government commissions, all urging federal agencies to prioritize ecological integrity and Indigenous rights over resource extraction. 作为正在进行的联邦审查进程的一部分,公众意见已提交给海洋能源管理局和环境保护局。 Public comments were submitted to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and the EPA as part of ongoing federal review processes.
