30% set aside to conserve the Ocean is a great sound bite.
But without cracking down on deep sea mining, offshore fossil fuel expansion, and bottom trawling over the other 70%? Yeah, ok,… good luck with that. You might want to take measures to keep the water over the 70% separate from the 30%. And what about hypoxia? acidification? plastic & other pollution? over fishing? Oh, excuse me, technology will take care of that at some point in the future and everything will be fine, golly I forgot about that.
