After two weeks of negotiations between more than 50 countries, the Fifth Session of the Intergovernmental Conference (IGC) ended last Friday without establishing a High Seas Treaty — once again leaving more than two-thirds of the global ocean unprotected. But important progress was also made, which the Only One community of supporters has helped push for. World leaders are closer than ever before to finalizing the treaty, and there’s reason to be optimistic that the next negotiation will be the last step in the nearly two-decades–long process. We can’t let up the pressure now, and we need you with us! Can you help build momentum for the coalition to protect the High Seas by sharing our petition with your network? We’re just shy of our goal of 75,000 signatures.
Three solutions that supersize impact for people and planet.
With our monthly membership, fund projects that support three crucial solutions for ocean and climate health.
Restore mangrove forests
These remarkable ocean trees can store four times more carbon than rainforests on land.
Rebuild coral reefs
Reefs are home to 25% of marine species, but face an existential threat from global warming.
Stop ocean plastic
Plastic that enters the ocean kills wildlife and eventually finds its way into our bodies, but we can stop the tide of pollution.
How we select world-class projects
We only support trusted, locally-rooted project partners backed by the latest science.
Want to become one of our project partners?
We are on the lookout for proven projects focused on mangrove restoration, coral planting, and plastic removal year round, to supersize impact. If you are part of or know of a project like this, let us know.
