  1. World’s First Treaty to Protect the #HighSeas Becomes #Law
    Over two decades after negotiations began, the #HighSeasTreaty is designed to protect #biodiversity in international waters by enabling #conservation zones.
    In September, Morocco became the 60th country to ratify the High Seas Treaty, triggering a 120-day countdown for it to become international law. There are now 83 countries that have ratified it, though the United States has not.

  3. A must read!

    There is so much more going on in the world betond social media clickbait outrage.

    "This gap, between the world as it is and how we’re told to see it, comes down to a choice about what we do with our attention."

  6. Hard-Fought Treaty to Protect #Ocean Clears Final Hurdle
    #HighSeasTreaty was ratified by 60th nation Morocco crossing threshold for #UnitedNations treaties to go into effect. Decades in making, it allows for establishment of #conservation zones in international waters. Environmentalists hailed it as a historic. Treaty "is a conservation opportunity that happens once in a generation" said Lisa Speer, who directs International Oceans Program at #NRDC

  7. Das UN-Abkommen zum Schutz der Hochsee kann in Kraft treten, nachdem mehr als 60 Staaten es ratifiziert haben. Damit wird der Weg frei für internationale Meeresschutzgebiete – ein großer Erfolg. Doch wer setzt den Schutz dieser Gebiete wirklich durch? Und was, wenn Staaten es auf deren reichhaltige Fischbestände abgesehen haben?

    Das haben @AnRinke und ich in einem Szenario erkundet, das es bei @riffreporter zu lesen gibt: riffreporter.de/de/umwelt/biod #bbnj #highseastreaty #ocean (Abo/Einzelkauf)

  8. Big win for our oceans! 18 countries just ratified the High Seas Treaty at the U.N. Ocean Conference, bringing the total to 49. Only 11 more needed to protect marine life in international waters. Let’s keep the momentum going! 🌊

  9. The #HighSeasTreaty "aims to protect #biodiversity in our #oceans on a global basis, bringing the high seas and #seabeds, which no country owns, under an agreed international law.

    Under the treaty, countries and [their] companies have to do and publish an environment impact assessment for any projects they are planning for the high seas — which is particularly timely as the contemporary “gold rush” is for #minerals and rare earths on and under the #OceanFloor."

  10. Really curious how the high seas treaty will play out globally but also for US implementation. Hopefully it at least helps some migratory and pelagic species and it’s just meaningless words. #ocean #oceans #HighSeasTreaty #highseas #oceansummit
