Global Oceans Treaty

The Global Oceans Treaty, formally known as the Treaty on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ), is an international agreement to protect and sustainably manage parts of the Earth's oceans outside national waters, primarily deep-sea areas. It aims to preserve marine biodiversity, regulate activities like mining and fishing, and ensure equitable sharing of benefits from resources. By establishing rules and cooperation among nations, the treaty helps prevent environmental damage, promotes conservation, and supports the health of global ocean ecosystems for future generations.
