Nice Hosts Global Ocean Summit, Emphasizing the Need for Enhanced Marine Conservation

A global summit focusing on the critical condition of the oceans commenced on Monday in France, calling for a prohibition on bottom trawling and an enlargement of marine conservation areas. The UN Ocean Conference, held in Nice, aims to develop tangible strategies and secure financial support to tackle the pressing marine “crisis” as identified by its organizers. This plea for collective action arises amid disputes between countries regarding a potential plastics treaty and the United States’ reluctance to adopt stringent deep-sea mining guidelines.
