The oceans produce half of our oxygen, and food for a billion people. And because they soak up huge amounts of carbon dioxide, they\u2019re also one of our best defences against climate change. Our fate is bound to the fate of our oceans. If they don\u2019t make it, we don\u2019t either. Now though, there\u2019s a ray of hope. There\u2019s a new treaty in the works that could pave the way for new ocean sanctuaries all over the world.\n                        <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n                            \n\n                        <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-cta\">\n                            <a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/act.seasia.greenpeace.org\/protect-the-oceans-oceansantuaries\" target=\"\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\n                                Protect Oceans\n                            <\/a>\n                        <\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1323\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u.jpg\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 601px) 50vw, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u-768x529.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/planet4-southeastasia-stateless-develop\/2018\/10\/b4dea0a8-nature-gp0stoe2u-493x340.jpg 493w\" class=\"wp-image-348 size-full\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Greenpeace Southeast Asia investigation on reported cases of modern slavery on the high seas<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seabound - Oceans of Slavery\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Il50blGgZcA?start=366&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n<div data-render=\"planet4-blocks\/columns\" data-attributes=\"{&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;tasks&quot;,&quot;columns_title&quot;:&quot;A sea of issues&quot;,&quot;columns_description&quot;:&quot;From overfishing to deep-seabed mining, from climate change to plastic- the ocean is under attack from all sides and it needs our help to protect it. Find out how you can help today.&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:[{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A treaty to protect our oceans&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Scientists have drawn up a rescue plan for our oceans. The plan is bold, and brilliantly simple: we cover the planet in ocean sanctuaries, putting a third of the oceans off-limits to fishing, mining and other destructive industries. Here\\u2019s the problem: at the moment, there\\u2019s no way to create new sanctuaries outside countries\\u2019 national waters. We can\\u2019t protect these huge areas of the ocean without an international agreement on how this protection would work. Governments have started work on a UN Ocean Treaty, and if they get it right it\\u2019ll gives us the tools we need to make these sanctuaries happen. The oceans need your support.&quot;,&quot;cta_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/act.seasia.greenpeace.org\\\/protect-the-oceans-oceansantuaries&quot;,&quot;cta_text&quot;:&quot;SIGN THE PETITION&quot;,&quot;link_new_tab&quot;:false},{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;30x30 A Blueprint for Ocean Protection&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;This ocean sanctuaries scientific study maps out how to protect 30% of the world\\u2019s oceans by 2030, a target that scientists say is crucial in order to safeguard wildlife and to help mitigate the impacts of climate change. 30\\u00d730: A Blueprint For Ocean Protection is the result of a year-long collaboration between leading academics at the University of York, University of Oxford and Greenpeace.&quot;,&quot;cta_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.greenpeace.org\\\/international\\\/publication\\\/21604\\\/30x30-a-blueprint-for-ocean-protection\\\/&quot;,&quot;cta_text&quot;:&quot;READ THE REPORT&quot;,&quot;link_new_tab&quot;:false},{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Be an Ocean Defender&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;All around the world, our oceans are in crisis.
