Proud to sign a historic global treaty to protect the world’s ocean. We now have a framework to establish marine protected areas on high seas – which cover 60% of Earth’s ocean – and meet our target of protecting 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030.

A cada rodada fora de casa uma surpresa desagradável. E foram muitas nessa temporada. Desejos de morte, boneco enforcado, muitos gritos criminosos... Tudo registrado. Mas o discurso sempre cai em “casos isolados”, “um torcedor”. Não, não são casos isolados. São episódios…

If a company or individual has breached water laws, they can propose to NRAR that they enter an enforceable undertaking (EU) as an alternative to court action. An EU typically delivers real benefits to local communities and the environment. More here: bit.ly/3MzeGVM
