BBNJ on the river in the morning, a reminder of a better America while I'm on my way to vote. After voting? Road trip to see BBNC! I thought I should see Big J before I cheat on her with a Southern Belle who's originally from New York. The name is NEVER the whole story!

The subliminal familiarity of the Rio de la Plata and Rambla in Montevideo helped create that sense of home. The Delaware and trail lured me back to Old City 5 years ago, and I enjoy it regularly. Now can somebody just move the Ben Franklin Bridge to Uruguay for me? Or maybe just BBNJ?

For the marine conservation sector, COP17 comes at an exciting time as the world prepares for the first Conference of the Parties to the Agreement on Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ) in January 2027.

At this event, we established unregulated fishing as an issue in the COP17 discourse on marine biodiversity and advancing ambitions to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 as part of the UN High Seas Treaty, or BBNJ.

Speakers also discussed the challenges and opportunities at the first BBNJ COP in January. The issue of transparency at sea will be critical.

Knowing who is fishing what, where, when, and how will go a long way toward curbing illegal fishing activities on the high seas.

Trans-shipment at sea, switched-off tracking, unreported catch: fleets operate unseen and avoid prosecution. High-seas MPAs under #BBNJ won't deliver if the fishing around them stays unregulated.

30x30 must strengthen the rights and stewardship of the communities who care for the ocean. 🌊🐢 At our #BLGD2026 roundtable hosted by Pew, Solomon Kahoʻohalahala reminded us that vast areas of the ocean were connected for many years by canoe peoples. #CBDCOP17 #BBNJ
