Global Ocean Treaty<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Global Ocean Treaty is the first-ever international agreement focused on conserving marine life in areas beyond national borders, the High Seas. It\u2019s our chance to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, creating sanctuaries that are safe from overfishing, deep sea mining, and other industrial exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we\u2019re not just waiting. We\u2019re already pushing governments, exposing ocean threats, and sailing with purpose to defend the wild blue.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re fighting for the strongest possible Global Ocean Treaty, one that truly protects the High Seas from exploitation, not just on paper, but in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n\n\n\n

Led by truth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We work with marine scientists, legal experts, and communities to push for sanctuaries in areas and we lead by truth with the power of millions of voices across the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Stop destructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We campaign to stop deep sea mining before it starts, and hold governments accountable for harmful industrial fishing operations that are destroying marine ecosystems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Mobilise global pressure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We target decision-makers at critical UN negotiations, amplify voices from countries, and use global mobilisations and petitions to push hesitant governments to act boldly. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n

Center justice and equity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We work with Indigenous communities, small island nations, and countries on the frontlines of ocean degradation to center justice and equity in the Treaty\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the streets to the seas, our projects fight environmental destruction at every front, uniting people, challenging power, and protecting our planet\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global advocacy & movement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through grassroots organizing, coalition-building, and global day-of-action campaigns, we unite allies and people from every corner of the world to demand justice and show leaders that the world is watching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Creative activism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We expose corporations like Dove fueling the plastic crisis and mobilise public pressure to hold them accountable, both online and in the streets. Because without corporate change, there\u2019s no real solution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Deep sea mining resistance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re actively resisting deep sea mining through scientific research, public education, and bold actions at sea and on land, demanding a global moratorium to protect fragile ecosystems before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
