📢 St. Lucia🇱🇨 has ratified the High Seas Treaty 🎉

Now 1⃣5⃣ Treaty champions have taken the lead in the #RaceForRatification!

Their commitment to transforming the #BBNJ Agreement into action brings us 45 ratifications closer to entry into force by #UNOC3.

[High Seas Alliance @HighSeasAllianc]

In our regional 🇮🇳 workshop, 11 Southeast Asia countries representatives identified the priority support needed to facilitate the signing & ratification of the #BBNJ Agreement.

We are looking forward to strengthening these efforts in the upcoming national consultations!

The #HighSeasTreaty may be our best bet to protect #BBNJ.

🌊 It would serve as a critical foundation to establishing a legal framework for #MPAs, so we can achieve 30% of total ocean protection by 2030 as one global ocean community.

So heartening to be surrounded by the strength, leadership and passion of #SIDS demonstrating action to ratify the #HighSeasTreaty to ensure it can protect our global ocean & all of us that depend on it. 🙌🌊💙
We encourage other nations from the global north to move as swiftly!
