The Leading Women for the Ocean Network call for an immediate, concerted international effort to adopt a robust and ambitious UN High Seas Treaty to help protect the
Emperor Seamounts. By permanently closing the area to fishing and establishing a high seas MPA through a new UN High Seas Treaty, we can save the Emperor Seamounts for ourselves and for future generations. Because this unique and special place is a global common, we can only effectively protect this area for ourselves and future generations through an international treaty.
