Ocean protection at current pace would take 265 years

Greenpeace warns that governments are moving so slowly on marine protection that reaching the agreed goal of safeguarding 30% of the ocean would take 265 years at the current rate — far past the 2030 deadline. The group blames industrial fishing fleets for degrading the ocean and is demanding that governments create real ocean sanctuaries immediately rather than continue delays.

Why now: Frustration is mounting that the 30x30 ocean protection target agreed for 2030 is badly off track.
