BREAKING

This is a huge win - possibly the biggest conservation victory ever!
Here’s a short 🧵 on how we got here and what it means...

🌊 It’s a victory for the oceans and it’s a victory for people power.
💪Over 5 million people have joined our movement to protect the oceans. The politicians couldn’t ignore our call!
The treaty enables governments to set up sanctuaries across the global oceans- making it possible to protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, the minimum scientists say is needed for oceans and marine life to recover 🐟

Protecting the oceans also helps guarantee the livelihoods and food security of the billions of people in coastal communities that depend on them.

🐋 Your support has helped us to sail to every ocean to document precious marine life and fragile ecosystems
and confront the industries that pose a risk to them like:
❗Industrial fishing
❗Oil drilling
❗Deep sea mining
None of this would have been possible without our movement, so take a moment to congratulate yourselves on this historic win! 🥳
There’s still more to do, and with you by our side we’ll keep working to make sure we #ProtectTheOceans for generations to come!
But for now, let’s celebrate! 🎉🎥
