Key oceans treaty crosses threshold to come into force

 A global agreement designed to protect the world’s oceans and reverse
damage to marine life is set to become international law. The High Seas
Treaty received its 60th ratification by Morocco on Friday, meaning that it
will now take effect from January. The deal, which has been two decades in
the making, will pave the way for international waters to be placed into
marine protected areas. Environmentalists heralded the milestone as a
“monumental achievement” and evidence that countries can work together for
environmental protection.
