Imagine if we could stop offshore drilling at the dawn of the oil age.

️ Ring ring! The ocean called. It wants its biodiversity back

World leaders are having a nice time in Nice, where they’re supposed to be ratifying a treaty that would protect our oceans.

We’re asking them to answer the call, and meet the deadline they set themselves. We need at least 60 countries to make the treaty law to make it legally binding.

If you want to help, sign the petition to call on governments to seas the moment and create ocean sanctuaries.

We’ve just hit a major ocean protection milestone at the UN Ocean Conference — 50 countries have now ratified the Global Ocean Treaty! This means we only need 10 more before we can start using the Treaty to create ocean sanctuaries
Let’s keep swimming forward, because we’re almost there
Tell your government to protect the oceans NOW!
