The final round of negotiations for a treaty to protect marine biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction (#BBNJ) kicks off today at @UN HQ!

Here's a quick recap of what's going on [thread 🧡]
#IGC5 #UNCLOS We used to think the #highseas were a deadzone and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (#UNCLOS) doesn't say all that much about its protection.

We now know that these deep & distant waters are full of biodiversity and are a massive carbon sink.
