Conservation of Marine Biodiversity in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ)

Conservation of Marine Biodiversity in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) refers to efforts to protect marine life in oceans that are not owned by any country, like the high seas. These areas are vital for the health of the planet as they support diverse ecosystems. The BBNJ focuses on establishing rules and agreements between nations to sustainably manage resources, prevent overfishing, and protect habitats. This collaborative approach aims to preserve marine biodiversity, ensuring that the ocean remains healthy for future generations while balancing human activities like fishing and shipping.
