We applaud Palau 🇵🇼 for being the first @UN Member State to officially ratify the historic #HighSeasTreaty. 59 more countries must ratify for the Treaty to enter into force. Call on countries to accelerate the #RaceForRatification!

📙 The @ReefsHighSeas ‘Case for Conservation of the Salas y Gómez and Nazca Ridges’ is a must-read. 🪸 We cannot ignore its biological and cultural significance. Let's write the next chapter by protecting this pristine natural wonder. https://t.co/bJz7ORnwGo #BBNJ #CoralReefs

The #BBNJTreaty on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in the #HighSeas was opened for signature.  We applaud the States that have already signed 👏🏽👏🏽
At #CRHS we continue to prepare the way for the implementation of the Treaty https://t.co/mjDGE2dtrF

On this #WorldOceansDay, the Coral Reefs of the High Seas Coalition joins the chorus of voices calling for a robust, equitable #BBNJ treaty to be finalized by the end of this year. Now is the time for decisive action to conserve our oceans and, in turn, ourselves.

Happy #WorldReefDay!

@ReefsHighSeas is a member of the Flotilla and aims to protect #coralreefs in areas #BBNJ.

Up to 90% of coral reefs may disappear in the next 30 years without urgent conservation action. 📷: @oceana @esmoi_ucn #HighSeas #HighSeasTreaty #OneOceanOnePlanet

Exciting news from the @G7 Env Ministers! Includes commitment to strive for an ambitious #BBNJ treaty by 2022. 👏🙏🌍🌏🌍🌎

Now it is time to reach out to other nations to lift ambition and capacity for all! 🌊💙🌊

[Peter Thomson @ThomsonFiji]

The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ) must be robust & operable. We must not squander 2022's unparalleled confluence of opportunities for #Ocean Action: WTO Ministerial Council (subsidies removal), UN Ocean Conference, BBNJ, CBD COP15 & UNFCCC COP28. UNEA has shown us the way to consensus.

“Regardless of where you live, the #HighSeas is contributing to the oxygen you breathe, is one of the climate regulators and makes our existence possible on Earth while providing food.” – High Seas Alliance Director, Peggy Kalas.

Today is #WorldTunaDay!

The vast majority of the fishing pressure in the high seas around the Salas y Gómez and Nazca Ridges targets skipjack, bigeye, and yellowfin tuna.

#DYK: Rapa Nui was dubbed Easter Island by Dutch navigator Jacob Rogeveen who "discovered" the island 300 years ago on Easter Sunday 1722.

This is why @Minrel_Chile started in 2021 a successful process to protect that significant area in the context of @sprfmo, paving the way to a high seas MPA, a milestone in ocean protection! @UrrejolaRREE @AndresVillarG @max_bello_m @cristianlaborda

[Coral Reefs of the High Seas Coalition @ReefsHighSeas]

Over 70% of the Salas y Gómez and Nazca Ridge habitat lies outside of national jurisdiction. We need a robust high seas treaty to protect them from further exploitation. #BBNJ #HighSeasTreaty
