After years of campaigning, this historic ocean win is only the beginning of a new chapter on our ocean protection journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governments must now use the Treaty to create vast networks of ocean sanctuaries. Climate change and destructive fishing have pushed the ocean to the brink of collapse. Every moment governments delay implementing highly and fully protected sanctuaries, we risk losing more irreplaceable ocean life and ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a once-in-a-generation chance to turn the tide. If world leaders act swiftly and boldly, they can protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 \u2014 giving marine life space to recover, helping stabilise our climate, safeguarding the livelihoods of billions of people worldwide, and securing a thriving blue planet for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add your name today. Tell governments to act swiftly and turn the Treaty into action because the ocean can\u2019t wait.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Add your name.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call on your government to start implementing highly and fully protected sanctuaries in international waters to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js-eu1.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n<script>\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n  region: \"eu1\",\n  portalId: \"26121134\",\n  formId: \"8d1a657a-943e-443a-a9d4-f957fa4c5cc5\",\n  onFormReady: function($form) {\n    var iframe = document.querySelector('iframe.hs-form-iframe');\n    if (iframe) {\n      iframe.setAttribute('title', 'Petition form');\n    }\n  }\n});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:40px;padding-bottom:40px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center is-style-default\">Why should you add your name?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 45%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>By signing this petition, you\u2019re helping turn a historic promise into real change.
