Because it covers 70% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is crucial in capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Protecting the seas can be an effective way to combat climate change, write Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen | Opinion
Editor’s Note: Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen are marine biologists, award-winning conservation photographers, speakers and co-founders of SeaLegacy, a global marketing, education and communication agency for the ocean. Founded and led by a team of world class filmmakers, conservationists and photographers, SeaLegacy uses strategic communications at the intersection of art, science, and conservation to protect and rewild the ocean for the benefit of biodiversity, humanity, and climate.
Along with a team of some of the best ocean scientists, in an article published in the journal Nature Dr Duarte has given us an achievable set of actions that can restore health and abundance to the ocean so that we may achieve the decarbonization of the planet. They urgently recommend that we protect at least 30% of the sea by 2030. That means setting up large ocean areas where extractive activities like fishing and mining are banned.
