How should the High Seas be protected? | Inside Story

Countries have tried for years to reach a global agreement on protecting the High Seas.

Two-thirds of oceans are considered international waters, but only 1.2% percent of these high seas are protected.

This means most of the world's marine life is exposed to growing threats from climate change, overfishing and shipping.

Can UN member states reach an agreement to protect 30 percent of the world's oceans?
