Context
Last week was the 99th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, who released his new film 'Ocean', highlighting the importance of ocean protection for climate change mitigation.
With the upcoming UN ocean conference in France in 2025, will my hon. Friend ensure the UK arrives in the strongest position by ratifying the high seas treaty and delivering domestic nature restoration goals through measures such as ending bottom trawling in marine protected areas?
Let me wish a belated happy birthday to Sir David. His advocacy for the natural world is truly inspirational. We are committed to ratifying the agreement, and we will introduce legislation to implement it as soon as the legislative timetable allows.
