Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the U.N. Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Lambertini said the WWF was confident there would be consequences if plans to excavate mineral deposits from the deep seabed get a green light. Speaking to Reuters, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said his country, which has not ratified the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, has concerns regarding deep-sea mining and is "very wary of procedures that could disturb the ocean floor".
