CCMW signed a petition to ask Ban Ki-Moon to help secure a living ocean, food and prosperity and propose a new agreement for high seas protection in September 2014.

In September this year, the United Nations (UN) will begin discussing the future of the high seas and how they should be governed. This won’t happen again any time soon so we need to make the most of the opportunity now.

The ocean has been a major part of our lives as Canadians and supports the livelihoods of millions of us. But it is in trouble. Should you like to support this petition too to protect the high seas and restore ocean health, go to change.org!
