Increasing marine conservation to save biodiversity
- "At least 26 per cent of our oceans need urgent conservation attention to preserve Earth’s marine biodiversity, a University of Queensland-led international study has found. Dr Kendall Jones said the international community needed to rapidly increase marine conservation efforts to maintain the health of the world’s oceans. 'Preserving a portion of habitat for all marine species would require 8.5 million square kilometres of new conservation areas,' Dr Jones said. 'Currently one-third of all marine species have less than 10 per cent of their range covered by protected areas.'" - Excerpt from The University of Queensland
