👏Congratulations to Belgium🇧🇪 on the news its Federal Parliament voted in favour of ratifying the #HighSeasTreaty.
This is a key national ratification milestone along the way to Belgium joining the #RaceForRatification in time for #UNOC3.
🌊 Belgium has taken an important step towards ratification of the #BBNJ Agreement with the approval of the law for ratification by the Federal Parliament. Protecting biodiversity in the high seas is a priority for our country. Belgium is a candidate to host the BBNJ Secretariat.

Another amazing mound at El Quisco North, just bursting with tube worms!
It's really cool to see how the seeps here are shaping the nearby ecology - lots of fish, squid, sharks all hovering around the oasis...

Why might “sufficient information” be an important requirement for enabling informed decisions on deep sea mining. See this excellent new brief from @DeepStewardship Minerals Working Group 👇
🌊 The DOSI Minerals Working Group has put together a policy brief outlining how the #ISA can implement a ‘Sufficient Information Requirement’ for #DeepSeaMining.
