High sea treaty for oceans conservation

Abstract

   The global ocean - Earth’s seas, including the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and southern oceans - provide more than half of the oxygen we breathe, and providing food and livelihoods for billions of people worldwide. It is also home to many magical wildlife species, from tiny plankton to the largest creature that has ever existed - the blue whale. The extraordinary diversity of ocean life and the services they provide to humans are of great value.
