The U.N. has reached a Historic Agreement to protect the world's oceans. The treaty, if ratified, would establish a new set of rules on the high seas aimed at protecting marine species and the balance of its ecosystems. The agreement would instate a new group within the U.N. in charge of managing ocean conservation and require detailed environmental impact assessments for all new activities on the high seas, including tourism. The treaty would also create areas within the ocean that are protected from human activity.
