We Need More Marine Protected Areas

"Better protecting our oceans is essential for tackling climate change. Our oceans play a fundamental role in shaping and regulating our climate, and yet today, only one percent of our oceans are protected. Marine protected areas are vital in promoting the recovery of our oceans..." - quote from Dan Laffoley, marine vice chair of the World Commission on Protected Areas; quote appeared in this article.
