Ocean restoration now impossible, triage is the only option

Original: Contributor: It's too late to restore the ocean. Now all we can do is triage

A contributor argues in the Los Angeles Times that the world's oceans have degraded beyond the point of full restoration. The piece contends that efforts should now shift from repairing ocean ecosystems to prioritizing which damage can be limited or which areas can still be saved. It frames ocean policy as emergency triage rather than recovery, a stark assessment of the state of marine environments.

Why now: The blunt claim that ocean restoration is no longer possible challenges common environmental messaging and sparks debate.
