Euskaraz irakurri: Itsas zabala babesteko itun “historikoa” itxi du NBEk

Marine, environmental and environmental defense organizations from around the world, grouped in the High Seas Alliance have described as “historical” the treaty of the UN for protect the high seasthose waters beyond the national ones that are the largest habitat on the planet and pave the way to protect at least 30% of the ocean.

Said Alliance, which integrates more than 40 NGOs in the world, in addition to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has assured in a statement after the agreement reached this morning by the countries in the United Nations, that the new treaty is a huge step to legally protect marine life with “ocean sanctuaries” and adapt “governance” of the high seas to the 21st century.

With just over 1% of the high seas currently protected, the new Treaty opens the way to ensure the protection of at least 30% of the oceans of the world by 2030, which is the minimum that scientists consider necessary for their well-being, explains Rebecca Hubbard, director of the High Seas Alliance.

The Treaty establishes “modern requirements to evaluate and manage human activities that affect marine life on the high seas”, in addition to guaranteeing transparency to improve the management of sectors such as fishinghe Marine transport and other activities that have been deteriorating the ocean health.
