Our heartfelt congratulations to the State of Palestine on ratifying the Global Ocean Treaty.
In the face of genocide, famine and suffering, this decision to stand for our shared planet and ocean is a powerful act of courage and solidarity.
"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.

Over the weekend the world has reached a significant milestone for ocean protection:
60 countries have ratified the #GlobalOceanTreaty, triggering its entry into force and creating the first ever legal framework for protection of the high seas! 🌊
The next step is using it to create global ocean sanctuaries, where the ocean will have an opportunity to heal, replenish and thrive. 🐳
This is a massive win for the ocean, biodiversity, climate and multilateralism!

The OCEAN floor isn’t a MINE.
It’s home to life we barely understand.
Deep sea mining must be stopped before it starts.

Sorry I missed this update from Thursday last week, but Congo 🇨🇬 is the latest country to ratify the Global Ocean Treaty (aka #BBNJ) bringing the total number of ratifications to 52 out of 60 needed for the treaty to come into effect.
We are so close to acquiring a whole new legal framework for international ocean protection! 🌊🐙🐳

Deep sea mining is another form of colonisation and extraction, driven by greed, powered by distant governments and corporations.
