Greenpeace is there to hold them to account and to urge New Zealand to take a more ambitious stance than it has thus far.<\/p>\n<p>Greenpeace NZ\u2019s oceans campaigner Jessica Desmond will be in New York at the meeting, because the New Zealand delegation will play a crucial role in the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>She says \u201cthis is a unique opportunity to address one of the major issues of our time: the excessive exploitation and destruction of our oceans, and the massive loss of marine life that comes with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens in this meeting will set the fate of our oceans for generations to come, and it\u2019s essential that the New Zealand delegation takes a strong stance. So far they have lacked ambition, seeming to favour a version of the treaty which would not deliver a global network of ocean sanctuaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur oceans are facing more threats than ever before, from overfishing to oil drilling, deep sea mining to plastic pollution. We need this treaty to allow the creation of a planet-wide network of ocean sanctuaries, free from harmful human activities, helping to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis and safeguard wildlife,\u201d says Desmond.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1,750,000 people have signed a <a href=\"https:\/\/act.greenpeace.org\/page\/41359\/petition\/1?locale=en-NZ\">Greenpeace petition<\/a> calling on world leaders, including Jacinda Ardern, to support the creation of ocean sanctuaries across the planet, and to back the strongest Global Ocean Treaty at the UN to enable this.<\/p>\n<p>Alice Revell, leader of NZ\u2019s UN delegation, is chairing the work on the Area Based Management Tools section of the treaty, which includes ocean sanctuaries.<\/p>\n<p>On the 19th August, Oscar winner actor Javier Bardem appeared in Times Square with Greenpeace to demand a \u201cGLOBAL OCEAN TREATY NOW\u201d as an electronic billboard displayed threatened marine life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6187\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6187\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6187\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2019\/08\/0bc2abbc-gp0sttrey.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spanish actor and Oscar-winner Javier Bardem is surrounded by ocean billboards in New York&#8217;s Times Square.
