Many publications report that the countries have concluded a new agreement to protect the world's oceans after 10 years of talks. The High Seas Treaty aims to protect 30 % of international waters for nature by 2030, reports BBC News. Before the treaty, only 1.2 % of international waters were protected, according to BBC News. It reads: \u201cThe agreement was reached on Saturday night, after 38 hours of talks, at the UN headquarters in New York. Negotiations have been delayed for years by disagreements over funding and fishing rights." The Guardian reports that the treaty "is key to enforcing the 30\u00d730 commitment [protecting 30% of the Earth by 2030], which countries adopted at\u00a0the December UN Conference on Biodiversity<\/a>". It adds: "Without the treaty, this goal would surely fail because until now there has been no legal mechanism to establish marine protected areas on the high seas." Among other details of the agreement, it says: "A treaty that covers almost two-thirds of the ocean that lies beyond national borders, will provide a legal framework for the creation of large-scale marine protected areas to protect against the loss of wildlife and to share genetic resources on the high seas. It will establish a Conference of the Parties (COP) that will meet regularly and allow member states to take responsibility for issues such as governance and biodiversity.\u201d The Guardian also brings\u00a0video,<\/a>\u00a0which shows the moment when an agreement was reached after exhaustive negotiations.\u00a0Financial Times<\/a>\u00a0he adds that the agreement will need to be ratified by 60 states to enter into force and will be officially adopted at a later UN meeting.
