abc.net.au/news/united-nations-high-seas-treaty/102055962Negotiators from more than 100 countries have completed a UN treaty to protect the high seas, a long-awaited step that environmental groups say will help reverse marine biodiversity losses and ensure sustainable development.
The treaty is seen as a crucial component in global efforts to bring 30 per cent of the world's land and sea under protection by the end of the decade, a target known as "30 by 30" agreed in Montreal in December. An agreement to share the benefits of "marine genetic resources" used in industries like biotechnology also remained an area of contention until the end, dragging out talks.
