 The high seas, a vast expanse of ocean, transcending national boundaries, home to countless marine creatures. Fish travel thousands of miles to these waters to feed and breed. These seas are a vital source of oxygen and help regulate our climate, but they do not fall under the control of any country. Overfishing and dumping of industrial waste is common, causing a destructive ripple effect that can cripple coastal communities where fewer fish return and dangerous pollutants are washed ashore. It's time to cast an eye to the future. There's an opportunity for change, a new international treaty, the first of its kind, offering security for those who rely on the health of the high seas. What if all nations agreed to end lawlessness in the ocean? What if businesses and governments were held accountable for their activity? And fragile areas were provided with protected status. What if, through a trust fund, everyone could share in the ocean's benefits, and, by sharing technology and knowledge, we could all play our part as stewards of the high seas? It's a resource that covers half the planet, and it belongs to us all. We want the ocean and the people who depend on it to thrive. We need to act now. Join us, I.I.E.D.
