The ocean is the planet's largest ecosystem

"...The high seas were like the "wild west" because no single country had ownership or responsibility over them...You could do do whatever you want out there."

"The high seas face mounting threats from destructive fishing practices, shipping, plastic pollution, overfishing and potential deep sea mining, all compounded by climate change."

"The world's first legally binding treaty to protect oceans and marine life takes effect. The High Seas Treaty or Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdictions (BBNJ) Agreement, will govern about two-thirds of the planet's oceans including vast areas beyond any country's borders...Currently, only about 1 per cent of these international waters are protected."

In other news, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! #Fisheries #OceanGovernance #BlueJustice #MarinePolicy https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmars.2023.1045887

Ocean = life!

What we need to protect it:
🌊zero tolerance towards illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
🌊30% of marine-protected areas
🌊special attention for ship demolition and unexploded ordnance
🌊international #oceangovernance & ocean literacy

This new paper on Environmental (In)Justice looks interesting both because it is looking at the marine environment but also because it explicitly looks at the cumulative effects of multiple pressures and drivers.
