🌊 That’s a wrap on Our Ocean Conference 2026 in Mombasa!🇰🇪 To our co-hosts, speakers, partners, and members: thank you for the brilliant energy you brought to OOC in Mombasa. Let’s keep pushing forward together. #60toGlobal #OurOceanKenya

“The High Seas Treaty is a landmark agreement that changes the face of ocean governance for the world. The challenge is now to change this promise to reaction in the water. How will we do that?” Find out in the full intervention from our Director at #OOC11: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

“We must bring the High Seas Treaty from promise to practice. The Agreement represents one of the most important advances in ocean governance in a generation. Now governments must ratify it, so it is in effect. But everybody needs to join in implementing it”. John Kerry #OurOceanKenya #60toGlobal

Sea turtles migrating across the High Seas know no borders 🌊 The High Seas Treaty is a legally binding pathway to establish a network of #MPAs in international waters to safeguard vital migratory corridors and ultimately protect marine life. #WorldSeaTurtleDay

Join us for a public lecture and networking event exploring how the #HighSeasTreaty helps share the benefits of ocean discoveries fairly & how it allows us to create #MPAs. The event is open to everyone: https://bit.ly/4alkCN3 #OOC11

Congratulations to Comoros🇰🇲 for ratifying the BBNJ Agreement! 👏 Each new ratification strengthens inclusive and equitable implementation of the Agreement. Now is the moment to build toward universal ratification! https://highseasalliance.org/treaty-ratification/ #60toGlobal #BBNJ #HighSeasTreaty

Many High Seas #MPAs remain difficult to implement effectively. The High Seas Treaty is a game changer: it could address governance gaps through coordinated procedures for proposal review, scientific assessment, monitoring & implementation, and integration among international institutions.

"Alone we are a drop, together we are an ocean." On #WorldOceanDay, our Europe Coordinator addressed the Mission Neptune, highlighting the importance of multilateralism and partnerships that have made the BBNJ Agreement a reality after decades of negotiations. https://bit.ly/43TFyal

A blue whale doesn’t check a map. A shark doesn't stop at a maritime boundary. 🐋🦈 To marine life, the ocean has no borders, it is one interconnected life-support system. What happens in the High Seas affects us all. This #WorldOceanDay, we must act to protect it: https://bit.ly/4aNEvO8

For decades, the High Seas were considered the "Wild West," making them vulnerable to #IUUFishing. The #BBNJ Agreement will help change this by providing mechanisms to evaluate risky activities, empower local authorities, and establish MPAs. 📷 Ocean Image Bank / Toby Matthews #WorldEnvironmentDay

High Seas waters serve as migratory superhighways! The High Seas Treaty is a game-changer, allowing us to create #MPAs that protect species and their migratory journeys. #WorldFishMigrationDay #WorldTurtleDay 📷 Oleksandr Sushko / Unsplash

On this #BiodiversityDay, we celebrate a new era of ocean governance. The High Seas Treaty will not only enable the creation of #MPAs, but also help us ensure strong, robust environmental standards for activities across the High Seas. 📷 Jason Arnold

In a new blog, @oceancare.bsky.social Johannes Müller and High Seas Alliance @dkachelriess.bsky.social reflect on how shifting geopolitical and political dynamics can impact international processes, specifically the BBNJ: https://www.oceancare.org/en/stories_and_news/reflections-bbnj-prepcom3/

🗺️ Have you shared your message for the High Seas yet? People across the world are calling on their world leaders to ratify the #HighSeasTreaty. Help us advance towards universal ratification ➡️ https://bit.ly/4ndGK1g #60toGlobal

🗨️ "When people understand the ocean, they protect it. And when they feel connected to it, they act." High Seas Youth Ambassador Gabriela Casuso's campaign contributes to global efforts that promote ocean protection through education, storytelling & youth leadership.

The High Seas provide critical habitats & migration corridors for marine life, including endangered species. The #HighSeasTreaty could protect key areas through marine protected areas. On #EndangeredSpeciesDay, ask world leaders to ratify now: https://bit.ly/4ndGK1g #60toGlobal 📷 NOAA

How does the BBNJ Agreement protect marine animals? Often referred to as an abstract term ("biodiversity"), @wfa.org explains how the Treaty can recognize and protect marine life effectively. Read the blog: https://wfa.org/securing-aquatic-animal-welfare-in-the-high-seas-treaty/

Why is universal ratification of the BBNJ Agreement important? Without broad participation, there is a risk of fragmented ocean governance, with legal loopholes, and weakened enforcement, leading to poor ocean protection. Find out in our Deep Dive: https://bit.ly/4d7tpD9 #60toGlobal

The High Seas Treaty will address many governance gaps to conserve biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction. But how will it work in practice? Explore our factsheet to learn more about this historic Treaty ➡️ https://bit.ly/4ujOKQu #HighSeasTreaty #BBNJ

10.01% of the world's ocean is now protected. However, only 1.7% of the High Seas is currently protected. The new High Seas Treaty can help advance the progress on the #30x30 global target in the next four years. #HighSeasTreaty #BBNJ @savingoceans.bsky.social @mongabay.com#30x30

Ratify the #HighSeasTreaty now! Only Parties can shape decisions at the first #BBNJCOP, and broader participation makes the Treaty stronger and more effective. Let’s reach #60ToGlobal and build momentum for real ocean action. #BBNJPrepCom https://bit.ly/4aNEvO8

A big welcome to the Republic of Moldova🇲🇩 for ratifying the BBNJ Agreement! 👏 Now is the moment to build toward universal ratification! We encourage all countries to take this crucial step and help turn global ambition into action. https://bit.ly/4u1Saby #60toGlobal #BBNJ #HighSeasTreaty

The High Seas Treaty has officially come into effect 🌊 High Seas sustain global-scale ecosystem functions and provide essential benefits. As stated in the IPBES 🌍 #GlobalAssessment , improving shared governance is crucial to facing these challenges and protecting biodiversity. 🏡🧪

Fifteen years of advocacy went into making the High Seas Treaty a reality. @commsinc.bsky.social has been part of that journey since 2011, and we wrote about what it taught us. Read the full blog: communicationsinc.co.uk/high-seas-pr... #HighSeasTreaty #BBNJ #OceanComms

You can’t deliver #30x30 without protecting the High Seas. The Marine 30x30 Data Dashboard tracks ocean protection progress, including ratifications of the High Seas Treaty. Check it out! @skytruth.org @savingoceans.bsky.social#30x30https://bit.ly/3Ook5Cs

Protecting biodiversity on the High Seas will require billions in funding. Financial rules still require final decisions at CoP1. A recent study argues that funding targets must reflect real needs, especially for developing countries, to make the BBNJ Agreement effective. https://bit.ly/4vovPW8

🌊 Humanity depends on the health of our ocean. But only 1% of the High Seas is protected. This #EarthDay, we celebrate the #HighSeasTreaty, which will help enable the protection of over 60% of the ocean. Ask your government to ratify today: https://bit.ly/4mrHUpl #60toGlobal
