Happy Thursday Ninjas! Here’s some good news for you: Palau and Chile became the first nations to approve ratification of the UN Ocean Treaty, which aims to protect a third of the world’s oceans. This should put pressure on other countries to ratify (60 total are needed for the treaty to be put into force).
