This video was shot at the Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature International Tribunal at the Paris COP21. Lisa Mead, Director of the Earth Law Alliance, presents a new case for consideration to the panel of Tribunal Judges. Marine life is severely threatened by several factors such as deep-sea mining and oil extraction, pollution from plastics and other toxics, sewage and agricultural run-off, birds and mammals which are being killed by nets and lines and fish farming which affects native species. The case that she presents on “Depletion of Marine Life” concerns three issues which are interrelated: the lack of an integrated Ocean care and governance, the extensive overfishing and the inadequacy of marine conservation efforts.
