World Heritage in the High Seas:                                 An Idea Whose Time Has Come

In 2016, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) took a major step in acknowledging the uniqueness and value of remote ocean places through a World Heritage report specific to the high seas.

The publication of this report represents a meaningful contribution towards identifying and protecting areas of the open-ocean for their potential Outstanding Universal Value (OUV)
