The international treaty on the high seas, which focuses on conservation and sustainable use of maritime areas beyond national jurisdictions, has received sufficient support to take effect early in 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday. Speaking at the third United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, Macron said 55 countries’ ratifications of the treaty have been completed, around 15 are in progress with a definite date, and another 15 will be completed by the end of the year, meaning that the required 60 ratifications will be achieved. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective, FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen welcomes Merijn Tinga, Activist, Biologist and world-renowned "Plastic Soup Surfer".
