Join this webinar to have an exclusive opportunity to learn how our Ocean Rights pioneer, Michelle Bender, is envisioning to re-create the human-Ocean relationship by making everyone understand that the Ocean has intrinsic values with inherent rights. How can this approach be implemented to designate effective MPAs and reach not only 30 by 30, but an entirely protected ocean.

🌊 🌍 WHAT IF THE OCEAN HAD LEGAL RIGHTS? 🌎 🌊 Did you know that only 2.8% of the Ocean is currently protected (Marine Conservation Institute)? Even with important goals to designate 30% of the Ocean as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by 2030, experts like Guillermo Ortuño Crespo, Ph.D., warn that this is still inadequate for migratory species, as fish don’t adhere to “boxes”. In an eye-opening article, our #OceanRights navigator, Michelle Bender, explores how recognising the Ocean as a living entity with inherent rights could revolutionise our approach to conservation. 🌊✨ “Ocean Rights is the acknowledgement of the ocean's intrinsic value,” she asserts. Could this be the key to effective Ocean protection, by realising that the entire Ocean has inherent Rights already?

Back from our summer pause, Ocean Vision Legal is starting with big news: In January 2024, OVL, representing Bund für Umwelt und Naturschutz Deutschland e.V. (BUND Bundesgeschäftsstelle), initiated a legal proceeding against the Government of Germany for allowing bottom trawling in European MPAs. Soon, it will be decided: will the German government follow our objection and stop allowing bottom trawling in European MPAs, or will the legal proceeding continue?

🌊 At Ocean Vision Legal, we're committed to providing a rich and engaging learning experience for our interns. We believe in nurturing career development in a dynamic and supportive environment where every intern's contribution is crucial to our collective success. Hear from our recent team member, Mathilde HOARAU, on her experience at OVL: "As an intern at OVL, I had the pleasure of analysing the legal implications of adopting the Universal Declaration of Ocean Rights (#UDOR). The analysis emphasises the importance of a shift from the current law-making model to one that is centred around Nature/the Ocean while clarifying the outcomes of such a transformation. It also outlines the functions of the UDOR and explains how it interacts with some ocean-related regimes. Beyond that, I also contributed to a project relating to the recognition of #WhaleRights. This internship was rewarding as I was given the opportunity to change the current narrative in law-making by contributing to translating a new worldview, that integrates and promotes a broader set of values, into law in order to ensure more effective Ocean protection. Ultimately, this experience did not only allow me to better understand the #RightsofNature but also confirmed how promising the tools it provides are. The support and benevolence of the #team allowed me to grow as a researcher by giving me the guidance I needed throughout the project as well as sufficient leeway to build critical reasonings. Thank you OVL for your trust!" Thank you Mathilde, and we are grateful to your steadfast support and work in #OceanRights! Are you interested in learning more about the opportunities OVL offers?

📢Just launched: The #VeniceDeclaration for Ocean Literacy in Action outlines how to engage society to regenerate the most valuable ecosystem on our planet. Ocean literacy is more than understanding ocean science; it means recognizing the far-reaching consequences of our actions. By cultivating a global culture of ocean stewardship, we can facilitate a future where we thrive in harmony with the ocean. It is our collective will and responsibility to foster a more just and sustainable relationship with our vital global commons: all life on Earth depends on it. We need an ocean-literate society that advocates for policies that respect the ocean’s inherent right to exist, flourish and regenerate. The ocean literacy movement has undergone a remarkable evolution. From its beginnings as a school-based initiative to teach ocean science, it has blossomed into a vibrant, global community that recognizes the ocean's vital importance to our future. This diverse network, spanning cultures, generations, and geographies, shares a passion for the ocean and a commitment to respect it. In a promising shift, the movement is increasingly embracing the wisdom of Indigenous and local communities, and acknowledging the critical role of an ocean-literate society. Through common purpose and close collaboration, this community is working tirelessly to restore humanity's relationship with the ocean. The #VeniceDeclaration was launched on 7 June during the Ocean Literacy World Conference, held within the framework of the #SeaBeyond project - a collaboration between Prada Group and UNESCO Ocean - as well as the #OceanDecade Coordination Office for Connecting People and Ocean. 👉Read it here: https://ow.ly/7gyy50SgGiQ

🌊 Rising Tide of Ocean Litigation and Ocean Rights: risks and opportunities for investors 🌊 We are excited to share our recent feature in an insightful Q&A with Dr. Anna von Rebay, founder of Ocean Vision Legal, and Michelle Bender, our Legal Counsel and Head of Ocean Rights. This article by investESG delves into the increasing importance of Ocean Litigation and the emerging concept of Ocean Rights. 🔷 Understanding Ocean Rights: Ocean Rights, born from the Rights of Nature movement, recognizes the ocean as a living entity with inherent rights and intrinsic value. As Michelle Bender explains, this framework highlights our human responsibility to steward the Ocean for the benefit of all life on Earth. This approach is essential as we navigate the interconnectedness of all life with the health and functioning of the ocean. Lately, we have collaborated with Ralph Chami and his team at Blue Green Future to develop and implement Rights of Whales, which has led to the signing of a Declaration of Whale Rights by the Maori King in New Zealand. 🔷 The Wave of Ocean Litigation: The next decade will see a significant increase in Ocean Litigation to address state obligations in protecting the marine environment. At Ocean Vision Legal, we are at the forefront of this movement, initiating legal actions to enforce marine protection obligations and advocate for new laws that recognize the intrinsic value of nature. 🔷 Investor Risks and Opportunities: Investors must be aware of the risks associated with activities that harm the Ocean. Unsustainable practices can lead to reputational and stockholder risks, as seen with The Metals Company's stock reduction due to concerns about deep-seabed mining. However, there are also opportunities for innovation and sustainable investment, such as financing the creation and monitoring of marine protected areas. 🔷 Our Mission: Ocean Vision Legal is dedicated to saving the ocean through law by holding state actors accountable and advocating for the recognition of nature's inherent value. We believe in a comprehensive shift in mindset, moving away from viewing the ocean merely as a resource and towards recognizing its intrinsic rights. Read the full Q&A for more insights into our work and the future of ocean rights and litigation: https://lnkd.in/dYs5xw_e Join us in this crucial mission! Connect with Ocean Vision Legal to collaborate and strategize on effective actions to protect our oceans.
