The Supreme Court has granted Trans-Tasman Resources its last chance to confirm its consent to mine the seabed off south Taranaki.
The High Court quashed that consent, and in April the Court of Appeal upheld that decision.
Cindy Baxter from Kiwis Against Seabed Mining, which has been fighting the application alongside Ngāti Ruanui, Greenpeace and fishing companies, says granting the consent would set a precedent for an extremely damaging and experimental industry.
