"With 60 ratifications, the treaty will now enter into force, ushering in a new era of stewardship for the High Seas. Together, we are protecting marine biodiversity, advancing climate action, and ensuring that our ocean remains healthy and resilient for generations to come.

"This is not just a victory for the ocean, it is a victory for our planet and all who depend on it. Healthy oceans, healthy planet," the Palauan leader says.

Boom! 💥

With the remaining ratifications coming from St Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨, Morocco 🇲🇦 and Sierra Leone 🇸🇱, the threshold of 60 has been reached and now a countdown of 120 days starts to bring the #GlobalOceanTreaty into force!

This is one of the most significant tools for ocean protection in history and will play a major role in creating ocean sanctuaries and ultimately reaching the goal of 30% of earth protected by 2030.

A huge win for the ocean, biodiversity and climate! 🌊🐙

Here's a flash new Dunedin drinking fountain which also has a bottle filler and a cute little bowl for dogs. It's in Lower Stuart St on the corner of Bath St.

This thoughtful public amenity is "made from surplus materials left over from other DCC projects".
