We all rely on the oceans for our survival, but they\u2019re in serious trouble. Luckily there\u2019s a new UN treaty in the works that could transform how our oceans are protected.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The oceans are a mysterious and wonderful place, home to a staggering variety of different animals and habitats. They bring joy and life to billions of people around the world. Yet you only need to glance at the news these days (at your own peril) to see that our oceans are in big trouble.<\/p>\n\n

They\u2019re facing so many different threats \u2013 industrial fishing<\/a>, oil drilling, the climate crisis and even deep sea mining<\/a> (I\u2019m still hoping that this a dream and Dr Evil is holding the world to ransom for 100 million gazillion dollars \u2013 but sadly there actually is a whole industry that wants to mine the seafloor).<\/p>\n\n

If our oceans are in trouble then so are we \u2013 they produce half of the Earth\u2019s oxygen. Not only that but the deep sea is our planet\u2019s largest reservoir of stored carbon \u2013 so they are vital for tackling the climate crisis. Not to mention that over three billion people rely on the oceans for their diet or livelihoods.<\/p>\n\n

Kids from one of Senegal’s largest fishing communities show their catch of the day. They gather when the pirogues are landing fish on the beach to see if they can help and if they are lucky to be offered some fish to take home to their families. In Senegal, the resistance against the expansion of fishmeal factories is rising as it is taking more and more fresh fish away from the local markets and the plates of West African people to turn it into fishmeal and fish oil exported to for instance Europe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

New \u2018Marine Protected Areas\u2019 can help damaged oceans recover<\/h2>\n\n

The good news is that when our oceans are left alone to recover they show an incredible ability to bounce back. And the best way to allow them to recover is to create a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These are areas where all harmful activities like industrial fishing are banned.<\/p>\n\n

Less than 1% of the global oceans (or high seas) are properly protected \u2013 these are oceans outside of national borders.<\/p>\n\n

Enter the Global Ocean Treaty<\/h2>\n\n

At the moment, there\u2019s no way to create ocean sanctuaries outside of national waters \u2013 the legal mechanism for countries to agree on something like this simply doesn\u2019t exist.<\/p>\n\n

This is where the Global Ocean Treaty<\/a> (GOT) comes in. Not GOT as in Game Of Thrones so don\u2019t expect to see dragons patrolling the oceans for illegal fishing fleets.<\/p>\n\n

The Global Ocean Treaty is an international agreement \u2013 currently under negotiation by governments at the UN \u2013 that would make it possible to properly protect the high seas from industrial fishing and other destructive human activities.<\/p>\n\n

For the first time in history it could allow a vast network of MPAs to be created across the global oceans. This would be great news for whales and sharks, but also for the fight against the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n

Why the treaty is important<\/h2>\n\n

The way our global oceans are managed right now is very fragmented and it favours destructive industries rather than protection. The patchwork of regional and sector-specific authorities that currently run the show have repeatedly failed to protect the high seas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

You may also have heard about some MPAs that already exist \u2013 either in individual countries\u2019 national waters, or special areas like the Antarctic.<\/p>\n\n

Sadly, too many of these are so-called \u2018paper parks<\/a>\u2019 with lax enforcement, or rules too weak to offer true protection. <\/p>\n\n

These new MPAs would be different in two ways. Firstly, they\u2019d actually work \u2013 with strict rules and well-funded enforcement. And secondly, they\u2019d be in places that it wouldn\u2019t have been possible to protect before.<\/p>\n\n

What does a strong Global Ocean Treaty look like?<\/h2>\n\n

We need to protect at least 30% of the world\u2019s oceans by 2030<\/a>. That\u2019s the minimum amount of protection required this decade that would allow our oceans to properly recover.<\/p>\n\n

A strong Global Ocean Treaty is essential to achieving this by providing the tools necessary to switch on ocean protection, empowering governments to set conservation goals that they can actually deliver. It would have a momentous impact on marine ecosystems, the climate crisis and the planet as a whole.<\/p>\n\n

Threats to the treaty<\/h2>\n\n

The crucial final round of the Global Ocean Treaty negotiations are planned to go ahead in the coming months. And although they\u2019re likely to reach some kind of agreement, a strong treaty won\u2019t happen by itself.<\/p>\n\n

As with most environmental issues there\u2019s lots of money and power in maintaining the status quo. And destructive and greedy industries continue to lobby governments against ocean protection, so there\u2019s never been a more important time to make our voices heard.<\/p>\n\n

A shark is hauled in as bycatch by crew onboard an Iranian flagged vessel fishing for tuna in the Northern Indian Ocean.\n\nThese vessels often fish for tuna with 7 mile long gill nets, fishing with a gill net over 1.5 miles is illegal.\n\nGreenpeace is in the Northern Indian Ocean to bear witness to the destructive fishing practices of under documented fishing fleets which it is estimated cause the bycatch of 80-100,000 cetaceans per year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

A weak treaty would see governments pass the buck for managing any global MPAs onto regional and sectoral organisations or bodies incapable of the task. The Treaty would then lack teeth to make sure conservation and protection are at the heart of decisions, and business as usual could continue.<\/p>\n\n

To counter this, politicians need to see a popular movement for ocean protection, both in their individual countries and worldwide. By coming together and speaking out, we can give encouragement to the politicians that are already pushing for change, and force the cautious or undecided countries to properly back a strong treaty.<\/p>\n\n\n
