The High Seas Treaty – Over the weekend, a huge step was taken with the signing of this historic agreement.
Two thirds of the worlds oceans are currently considered international waters, and until now, only 1% of these waters, known as high seas, were being protected.
This agreement, that has been in negotiations for the last decade, aims to protect 30% of the worlds seas by 2030. The last international agreement on ocean protection was signed over 40 years ago in 1982.
Many steps remain before this treaty can be implemented, as countries will now have to formally adopt it, but this is a great first step towards protecting our oceans, their eco-systems and the inhabited marine life.
