At the start of this week, 32 countries ratified the High Seas Treaty. Now, we’re at 50!

The high seas make up nearly half of our planet, but right now, they’re wide open to exploitation. These are waters beyond national jurisdiction, and without a legal framework in place, there’s nothing stopping destructive industries from pushing in.
It’s the classic “tragedy of the commons” — when something belongs to no one, it becomes a race to exploit. That’s what the High Seas Treaty, led by highseasalliance, is aiming to address.
The Treaty gives us the legal foundation to create protected areas in international waters. But it can’t take effect until 60 countries ratify it.
The final push in the
#RaceForRatification is on. Help us spread the word. Send a message to your government through the link in our bio. We can do this!
