Environmental groups are praising a newly signed treaty that will help protect biodiversity in the high seas, where conservation across vast stretches of the planet have been hampered by a confusing patchwork of laws.
The unified agreement treaty, which applies to nearly half the planet's surface, was reached late Saturday after it was agreed upon by United Nations members.
Greenpeace Canada took to social media to celebrate the news, saying on Twitter that this is a major milestone to protect the oceans. SeaBlue Canada issued a tweet describing the deal as an incredible move for marine protection across the ocean and thanking those involved in the historic moment. This is an incredible move for marine protection across our ocean. Thank you for the incredible work that went into this historic moment.
