Learning about the ocean can easily turn from amazement and wonder to doubt and hopelessness. Joy can turn to despair as one reads more and more about the changing conditions of the Earth’s waters and the risks facing them. Of course, the organizations, individuals and groups working to conserve and protect the oceans are plentiful, but are the current targets and goals helping?
Professor Roberts, of the Environment Department at York, said: “There’s been huge interest and controversy over how much of the sea we really need to protect in order to safeguard life there and the benefits it provides to humanity. The science says we should raise our ambitions and protect something of the range of 30 to 40 percent of the oceans from exploitation and harm.”
While there are still disagreements pertaining to how much of the world’s oceans should be under marine protection, the positive effects of marine protected areas are seen across the wide variety of studies examined. While the study by Professor Roberts and Dr. O’Leary was not shared with the goal of providing a target or specific goal; it is useful in determining next steps for ocean protection.
