The world’s countries are currently negotiating a new agreement to protect marine life and govern impacts of activities in the high seas. These discussions will define the future of a vast stretch of ocean previously seen by many as ‘out of sight, out of mind’. Around 64% of the ocean’s surface (over 45% of the globe in total) falls within areas beyond the jurisdiction of any single country, and is often referred to as the high seas.
