Why marine protected areas alone won't save the ocean
Original: 30x30: Why declaring marine protected areas is not enough
The 30x30 goal—protecting 30% of the world's land and ocean by 2030—is under scrutiny as experts argue that simply designating marine protected areas does not guarantee effective conservation. Commentators highlight that many existing reserves lack enforcement, funding and management, allowing damaging activities such as illegal fishing to continue, and call for genuine implementation rather than paper parks.
Why now: Attention to the 30x30 biodiversity target is growing as governments face pressure to turn protected-area pledges into real ocean conservation.
