We now cross live to the office of the Minister for Ocean Destruction, after receiving news that his beloved seabed mining project application would be declined, despite changing the law so it would pass.
Bye bye would-be seabed miners! We won't miss you!

Some breaking #goodNews for everyone but Shane Jones:

When we stand together, we win! ✊🏽
My happy place right now is imagining Alan Eggers (CEO of mining company TTR/Manuka Resources) on crisis call with Shane Jones yelling:
"BuT yOU promised this Fast Track Bill of yours would sort it out!?" 😡
It may or not be happening... But it's an awesome image.
Not financial advice but I'd dump stocks in certain mining company before they crash. 😈

The Global Ocean Treaty and the High Seas Alliance in TIME Magazine! 🌊🐙
"It’s hard to overstate the significance of a new international treaty at this current political moment. There has never been a climate diplomacy effort like this for the ocean—it is obviously a big win for the ocean, but also for multilateralism."
"The effort to establish high seas protections will outlast any single administration, and global public support will be critical to these efforts."

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! 🌊🐙

A celebration is appropriate! 🎉
