What does the U.N. High Seas Treaty mean for marine life?

Thanks to the new global treaty— marine biodiversity is getting a lifeline.

 
The United Nations formally adopted a historic treaty designed to protect life in the high seas, which is increasingly under threat from pollution, weather events and over fishing.

The pact extends for the first-time environmental protections to the two-thirds of the ocean that lie beyond national jurisdictions.

Jack Bobo, the Director of the Food Systems Institute at the University of Nottingham joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
