Jarden in talks to secure offshore partner, strategic investor

Forrest calls for global fishing overhaul as Australia backs major treaties at UN summit
Australian mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has called for the United Nations to back a major overhaul of global fishing regulations and marine life protections following an international ocean summit last week. Australia's Environment Minister Murray Watt also attended the 2025 UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice, France, and confirmed on Friday the federal government has joined 96 other nations in committing to end plastic pollution. Declaring 'the ocean is in freefall', Forrest made the comments following the summit on Saturday, saying his Minderoo Foundation will commit an additional $25 million towards implementing new marine protected areas and real-time vessel monitoring. 'We must lock in 30 per cent no-take marine protected areas by 2030 in every nation, in the high seas [international waters] and across at least 30 per cent of Antarctica – this must be the minimum, not the maximum – and it must be enforced, not just declared,' the WA-based magnate said in a statement. 'Thanks to science, enforcement is now possible. Satellites track vessels in real time. AI flags illegal behaviour. The excuses are gone.' Loading Forrest unveiled the foundation's Flourishing Oceans Commercial Fishing Act (FOCFA), a self-financing, enforcement-ready model for no-take MPAs and sustainable fisheries and said he would relaunch a Global Fishing Index in 2026. 'This flips enforcement incentives. Fishers, regulators, and even competitors are motivated to expose illegal actors. Governments reclaim lost revenue. Legal operators are protected. And the commercial risk of turning a blind eye rises – all the way up the supply chain,' he said of the proposed FOCFA. Minderoo has also partly funded a new documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, about the devastation brought about by unregulated industrial fishing, which was released last month.
