High Seas Ocean Treaty Reaches 100 Ratifying Parties
Original: Ocean Protection: The High Seas Treaty Reaches 100 Parties
The UN High Seas Treaty, formally the Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction agreement, has reached 100 parties, a milestone for ocean protection. The treaty allows for the creation of marine protected areas in international waters, which cover nearly half the planet and have long lacked unified conservation rules. Environmental groups have welcomed the figure, though ratification momentum still needs to translate into implementation at sea.
Why now: The treaty crossing the 100-party threshold is a major milestone that brings enforcement of protections for international waters closer.
