GOOD NEWS - Our Oceans can be restored by 2050
“We have a narrow window of opportunity to deliver a healthy ocean to our grandchildren, and we have the knowledge and tools to do so.”
Marine ecologist Carlos Manuel Duarte led a review* that found ocean habitats, populations and ecosystems could be restored within 30 years — if we choose to do it.
The scientists say there is now the knowledge to create an ocean renaissance for wildlife by 2050, and with it bolster the services that the world’s people rely on, from
food to coastal protection to climate stability. The measures needed, including protecting large swathes of ocean, sustainable
fishing, and pollution controls,
would cost billions of dollars a year, the scientists say, but
would bring benefits 10 times as high.
