'Protecting our oceans: Behavioural change comes from laws and changing of the system' • FRANCE 24

The international treaty on the high seas, which focuses on conservation 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 Oceans 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 will be achieved. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen welcomes Merijn Tinga, activist, biologist and world-renowned "Plastic Soup Surfer".
