Such an important moment for the 🌊🥳.
Doing our little share we started 2 years ago funding grantees to link their work within EEZ with potential highseas MPAs, e.g. @fundacionmarviva.bsky.social re Cocos Island in 🇨🇷 & Thermal Dome. @oceancecilia.bsky.social #OceanOptimism
🌊 A historic moment for the ocean.

The #HighSeasTreaty has officially entered into force, marking a new era in the protection of our shared ocean.

With close to 10% coverage, some progress towards 🌊 #30by30 was made (in 2025, largely thanks to 🇬🇫).
In order to reach the goal, we need to designate each day 40,000km² as MPAs - roughly the size of 🇨🇭. Not to mention effective management.
