News Release WOC ENSURES INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT IN NEGOTIATIONS FOR NEW U.N. HIGH SEAS REGULATION WHICH RESTART TODAY 3 rd Negotiations for Binding Agreement on International Waters Begin 19 August; WOC to Hold Official Side Event at UNHQ and Will Again Organize Annual Briefing on the High Seas Treaty at WOC Sustainable Ocean Summit (Paris, 20-22 Nov) 19 August 2019 The World Ocean Council (WOC) is working to keep the global ocean business community informed and engaged regarding the U.N. negotiations to expand the Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) to include a new legally binding instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine life in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). The WOC will participate in the third round of BBNJ negotiations which take place at U.N. Headquarters in New York from 19-30 August. The WOC is organizing an official Side Event at the BBNJ Negotiations on “Methods and Tools for Documenting Human Activity and Assessing Threat and Risk to High Seas Biodiversity”, on 28 August. The annual WOC Sustainable Ocean Summit (SOS), 20-22 November, Paris will again provide the only regular briefing on the BBNJ Treaty specifically for the ocean business community. A 2-page WOC briefing on the BBNJ and implications for ocean industries can be found here. The initial version of the new legally binding instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine life in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) became available in June, as previously announced by the WOC. The legally binding BBNJ will create new international high seas regulation on: • Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) • Area-based management tools including marine protected areas (MPAs) • Capacity-building and transfer of marine technology • Marine genetic resources (MGRs) including benefit sharing The WOC is an accredited observer to the BBNJ negotiations and has been the only ocean industry organization consistently and actively involved in the BBNJ process over the past
