Protecting Ocean Life on the High Seas
... The high seas, or ocean areas beyond national jurisdiction, fall outside countries’ exclusive economic zones and cover nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of the ocean’s surface. That amounts to 43 percent of the Earth’s surface. These seas comprise 80 percent of the world’s living space. These areas are ...
