                      After almost 20 years of talks, late on Saturday night 4 March 2023 in New York, after days of gruelling round-the-clock talks, United Nations (UN) member states finally agreed on a treaty to protect the high seas.

                      Members of MARBLES partner University of Aberdeen (UNIABDN), Abbe Brown (Professor in Law) and Marcel Jaspars (Professor in Chemistry) and partner ABS International (ABSint) Thomas Vanagt have all provided knowledge and guidance for aspects of the BBNJ process, read more about their work here.
