The High Seas Treaty, the first legally binding pact for international waters, promotes marine conservation & fair use of resources and includes protected areas & climate impact assessments. Why it's important: https://ow.ly/oOHo50XN6tG #YearInReview

Much of the ocean lies beyond national borders, where governance lagged as industry advanced. Over two decades, Kristina Maria Gjerde helped turn scattered warnings into the 2023 High Seas Treaty, proving that protecting the high seas is built on law, coalitions, and patient institutional work.

The world lost a true visionary in marine policy and ocean conservation last week. Kristina Gjerde, former research fellow at WHOI’s Marine Policy Center, was a driving force behind the High Seas Treaty, set to take effect on January 17, 2026. Rest in power, Kristina!

The High Seas Alliance celebrates the life of one of its founders, Kristina Gjerde, who died on December 26, 2025. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

"The #HighSeasTreaty is the best thing in ocean conservation news since the oceans needed conserving." Journalist @rosegeorge.bsky.social#HighSeasTreatyshares her thoughts on the implications of the Treaty on the fishing industry and the issue of #overfishing.

Public support for the #HighSeasTreaty has also been essential in delivering 60+ ratifications. 📽️ @nrdc.org#HighSeasTreatyManish Bapna highlights why people globally must continue to advocate and push their governments to ratify the #BBNJ Agreement. #60toGlobal

Fishing is still allowed in more than 90% of #MPAs, undermining their purpose as conservation tools. Authors urge global leaders to act as the #HighSeasTreaty, which includes a mechanism for creating MPAs, enters into force in Jan 2026. @osupress.bsky.social#MPAs
