Solomon "Uncle Sol" Pili Kaho'ohalahala, a native Hawaiian descendant and ocean advocate, speaks during a launch event for the Greenpeace report "30x30: From Global Ocean Treaty to Protection at Sea", aboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise in Long Beach, California on September 13, 2023. Overfishing in international waters has surged in the past five years, Greenpeace warned, saying the crisis demonstrates the need to ratify a recent treaty that protects high seas and creates marine sanctuaries. The non-governmental network is calling on as many countries as possible to sign the treaty next week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. (Photo by Patrick T.
