The short film, What Do You Know About the Global Ocean Treaty?, addresses the precarious state of the world’s oceans and questions the potential efficacy of a Global Ocean Treaty. Producer Esmeralda Hernandez De La Torre emphasizes the treaty’s importance in promoting ocean health.
De La Torre lays the groundwork with ocean facts, detailing the objectives of the latest Global Ocean Treaty version. Exploring the historical context of UN ocean legislation from 1982, she highlights contemporary practices threatening marine life. The proposed treaty aimed to address four key marine issues but faced rejection before progress. The video concludes with environmentalists expressing ongoing concerns about marine issues.
I rate this video 3.5 out of 5, acknowledging its brevity and the slide-show format as limiting factors in addressing this crucial issue.
