It's just one example of how unsustainable fishing and other practices are endangering our oceans today. Abuses like unsustainable fishing regularly go unchecked in the high seas that cover nearly half of our planet. The high seas are a no man's land— vast open areas of ocean beyond any national territory— with few regulations and even fewer consequences. We simply cannot save our oceans unless we protect marine life in the high seas.
Right now, the United Nations is negotiating the first-ever international treaty to protect marine life in the high seas and stop unlimited exploitation.
Pledge to stand with The Nature Conservancy to call on global leaders to back a strong treaty to protect the high seas. If we don't take action now, the costs will likely be catastrophic.
