London, 11 April 2019 \u2013 Today, Greenpeace launches one of its biggest ever expeditions \u2013 an almost year-long pole to pole voyage from the Arctic to the Antarctic \u2013 to highlight the many threats facing the oceans and to campaign for a Global Ocean Treaty covering all seas outside of national waters.<\/p>\n

Visiting many of the areas identified as in need of protection by the groundbreaking academic study 30×30: A Blueprint for Ocean Protection<\/a>, released last week, the Protect the Oceans expedition will see scientists and campaigners team up to research the threats of climate change, overfishing, plastic pollution, deep sea mining and oil drilling.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur blue planet is under threat and it\u2019s up to all of us to protect it,\u201d said Frida Bengtsson of Greenpeace\u2019s Protect the Oceans campaign. \u201cThis voyage will take us to the front lines of the battle to defend our oceans, and we\u2019re thrilled to be working with world-leading scientists to help their crucial work in understanding how our seas and marine life are changing and what we can do about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNegotiations towards a Global Ocean Treaty at the UN are already under way and it\u2019s vital that governments get it right. We need a strong ocean treaty that has the teeth to create fully protected areas, free from harmful human activity. The science is clear that we need a network of these ocean sanctuaries covering at least a third of the world\u2019s oceans by 2030 if we\u2019re to defend precious wildlife, help to tackle climate change and provide food security for billions of people. Our fate and the fate of the oceans are intimately connected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Greenpeace ship Esperanza is in London this week ahead of the expedition, which is being launched at an event on Thursday evening in London\u2019s City Hall on the River Thames, with the UK Environment Secretary Michael Gove MP, Shadow Foreign<\/p>\n

Secretary Emily Thornberry MP and marine biologist and co-author of the 30×30 report Professor Callum Roberts.<\/p>\n

Pole to Pole Expedition<\/strong><\/p>\n

Global Ocean Treaty:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week saw the second of four rounds of negotiation at the UN<\/a> towards a treaty covering international waters. The third round of negotiations takes place at the UN HQ in New York in August 2019, with the treaty process hopefully concluding with a fourth and final round in Spring 2020.<\/p>\n

A robust Global Ocean Treaty could provide the legal framework for the protection of international waters, making possible the creation of fully-protected Marine Protected Areas, or \u2018ocean sanctuaries\u2019, free from harmful human activities. Greenpeace is calling for a network of ocean sanctuaries covering at least a third of the world\u2019s oceans by 2030, a target called for by scientists at the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)<\/a> and welcomed by a growing number of governments.<\/p>\n

Now we have a chance to turn things around, by putting the most vulnerable and important parts of our oceans off-limits to destructive industries. Governments at the UN are starting work on a Global Ocean Treaty that will introduce laws to protect the oceans by creating sanctuaries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t \n Join Us\n <\/a>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls.

More than nine years have passed since I joined the team at Greenpeace, and it seems like just yesterday! I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that our team is special, in how we work together, how we relate to each other, how we resolve our differences and even how we express our frustration. It has always been great to end the day with an outing with the team, or a heated debate about current events. A week in the office was never complete without some kind of activity that brought us together as people, celebrating our passion for life, hobbies and interests, and - I must admit, several practical jokes! Moving our work online has definitely had an impact on our relationships with colleagues, volunteers, and external partners Somehow it feels like we\u2019ve been invited to become part of each other\u2019s lives at home: parents, partners, children and pets have now become regular guests on our video calls. I\u2019m proud to be working with a team that appreciates all its members in all the colour and diversity they bring to the table!
