Global Ocean Treaty has been finally approved by UN

The approval at the UN of the Global Ocean Treaty has finally been achieved and is a reason for great joy.

After announcing recent successes in surf break conservation, we celebrate the historic news that nearly 200 countries have approved a grand deal to protect 30% of international waters by 2030.

After a decade of negotiations, it was reached the largest agreement ever reached in the history of ocean conservation which allows governments to create sanctuaries in international waters around the world to protect marine life and ensure food security for millions of people who depend on the sea.

This historic victory is a sign that, in a divided world, the protection of nature and people can trump geopolitics.

Continued work will be needed for countries to ratify the treaty and begin work to create fully protected vast marine sanctuaries so that future generations can enjoy healthy oceans.
