The high seas treaty could be law by the end of the year, affording protection to marine life in the vast swathes of ocean that belong to no one. The treaty was adopted by UN member states in June 2023. It has been ratified by 49 nations plus the European Union, according to the UN, and comes into force 120 days after its 60th ratification. Activities that could come under regulation include transport and fishing.
