No Nation Owns the 'High Seas'
- "The high seas — like the moon, outer space and Antarctica — can’t be claimed by any nation. They are “areas beyond national jurisdiction,” and therefore protecting them requires international cooperation. A new United Nations oceans treaty — Agreement on Conservation and Sustainable Use of Marine Biological Diversity of Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction — would do just that, by focusing on greater biodiversity preservation." - excerpt from article in The Washington Post.
