From the Ted Talk by Kristina Gjerde: Making law on the high seas

Unscramble the Blue Letters


Getting closer to shore, where we are, this was in fact taken in the Galapagos. Many species are headed through this region, which is why there's been so much attention put into conservation of the eatrsen Tropical Pacific Seascape. This is the initiative that's been ctirodneaod by cotavioresnn International with a variety of partners and governments to actually try to bring integrated management regime throughout the area. That is, it provides a wonderful example of where you can go with a real regional initiative. It's ptnrtcoeig five wrlod Heritage sites. Unfortunately, the World Heritage cinooenvtn does not rozenicge the need to protect areas beyond national jurisdiction, at present. So a place like the Costa Rica Dome could not tnalehlcicy qualify the time it's in the high seas. So what we've been suggesting is that we either need to amend the World heiartge Convention, so that it can adopt and urge universal protection of these World Heritage setis, or we need to change the name and call it Half-the-World Heritage Convention. But what we also know is that species like these sea turtles do not stay put in the Eastern trcaiopl Pacific Seascape. These happen to go down to a vast South Pacific Gyre, where they snepd most of their time and often end up getting hooked like this, or as bycatch.

Original Text


Getting closer to shore, where we are, this was in fact taken in the Galapagos. Many species are headed through this region, which is why there's been so much attention put into conservation of the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape. This is the initiative that's been coordinated by Conservation International with a variety of partners and governments to actually try to bring integrated management regime throughout the area. That is, it provides a wonderful example of where you can go with a real regional initiative. It's protecting five World Heritage sites. Unfortunately, the World Heritage Convention does not recognize the need to protect areas beyond national jurisdiction, at present. So a place like the Costa Rica Dome could not technically qualify the time it's in the high seas. So what we've been suggesting is that we either need to amend the World Heritage Convention, so that it can adopt and urge universal protection of these World Heritage sites, or we need to change the name and call it Half-the-World Heritage Convention. But what we also know is that species like these sea turtles do not stay put in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape.
