Protect the Oceans

We're a long way from the sea in Hay, but we should still be concerned about the state of the planet's oceans.
On Thursday 6th February, the Globe is hosting what they call an immersive exhibition called Protect the Oceans. It's being organised by Greenpeace, and involves a photographic exhibition and use of a VR headset. There will also be a Greenpeace speaker talking about why it is so important to protect the oceans for climate and biodiversity.
There's also the opportunity to sign a petition to put pressure on the government to endorse the Global Oceans Treaty, which is to make 30% of the world's oceans into sanctuaries by 2030. The idea is that these would be like national parks on land, giving fish species somewhere safe to recover from over-fishing, for instance. At the moment only a tiny proportion of the seas around the coasts of the UK have any protection, and they are at risk of pollution, amongst other things. Most of the oceans are international waters, so international co-operation is needed to protect them.
The exhibition is free, and starts at 7.30pm.
