Ahh, the glorious West Coast. Beautiful sunsets, neverending beaches, peaceful fishing villages, and perhaps soon, giant remote-controlled crawling machines churning up the ocean in search of diamonds, heavy minerals and metals. One of those things doesn't fit - unless Trans Hex gets to mine 321 square kilometres along a huge 80km swath of the West Coast.

Activist Gavin Craythorne says deep water mining is a serious problem: "These machines are sucking up 600 tons of gravel per hour 24/7. The disturbance to the ocean takes a very long time to rehabilitate."
