Imagine an area that covers nearly 71% of our planet: That’s our one world ocean. It’s so vast that all the continental land masses (and more) would fit within just the Pacific Ocean. Then think about 2/3 of that world ocean: That’s the High Seas, an area beyond the jurisdiction of any country. Currently, the High Seas are not protected or managed for sustainable use, but the conservation of this vast area is of critical importance, and it IS within reach!
Ask your national leaders to ratify the High Seas Treaty now! Click here to see if your country has ratified the Treaty. If yes, that’s awesome and please thank your national leaders. If not yet, click here and to create a quick message to your national leaders urging them to ratify the High Seas Treaty as soon as possible.
You can multiply your impact: Forward this information to your friends, family, and colleagues so they can add their voices to protecting our world ocean.
Post on social media, too! Together we can get this done! Check us out @WorldOceanDay.
It’s also a lifestyle, it’s a way of life, it’s a mindset, and together we are growing a movement! To help, we want to make it easy for you to make a big difference. Learn more about the 12 Months of Action by clicking here.
