The treaty is critical in large part because two-thirds of the world’s oceans are currently considered international waters (the “high seas”), which means they are not subject to any rules and regulations and so are widely overexploited. The treaty will help protect the high seas by establishing protected areas, regulating fisheries, limiting deep-sea mining and directing ship traffic. While the treaty is a major step in the right direction, it is now imperative that more countries sign on and that those that have signed on begin to implement the measures in the treaty. Our oceans are home to an incredible diversity of wildlife (with 240,000 known species, a fraction of the total thought to exist), amazing ecosystems from hydrothermal vents to coral reefs, and absorb over 30% of society’s carbon emissions, making it a vital player in addressing the climate and biodiversity crises. 📷: Alex Hearn」3月22日 3時13分
