What’s in ISSUE 23 / HIGH SEAS?

THE HIGH SEAS

The international waters of the High Seas cover 46% of Earth's surface. But just 1.3% of the High Seas is protected. In March 2022, there is a once in a lifetime chance to change that.

GOLD RUSH

In the wild setting of Southern Leyte in the Philippines, some natives still mine sub-aquatic gold for their day-to-day survival.

THE CROCODILES OF KAKADU

Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory is home to more than 10,000 crocodiles. Covering almost 20,000 km2, it is one of the last truly wild places on Earth.

CORAL COMMUNITY

In Papua New Guinea, women are at the forefront of protecting some of the world's healthiest coral reefs.

AN UNSEEN WORLD

Plankton plays a critical role in balancing ocean health and the food web. Despite their significance, these miniscule creatures are rarely seen up-close - until now.
