An overwhelming vote for BBNJ in the United Nations today. The General Assembly voted 164-2 to approve the resolution to establish a preparatory commission to prepare for entry into force of the BBNJ Agreement. And spoiler amendments similarly - only gained 5 or 6 votes.

Privileged to have been among an impressive crowd of ocean leaders to identify asks to achieve progress on key ocean fronts. Let's turn asks into #OceanOptimism

Breaking: 🇪🇺 European Parliament votes with massive majority for EU ratification of #BBNJ Treaty.
