5 More Nations Pledge to Extend Marine Protections to Cover Over a Million Sq Miles - Palau, the Cook Islands, US, & the Bahamas unveiled plans Tuesday. New Palau sanctuary will protect 193,000 sq miles (500,000 sq kilometers), representing 80% of the territorial waters it controls.
Protection won't mean anything if we don't stop the CO2 emissions, which causes ocean acidification
I guess it's a step in the right direction even if it can't fix everything.
True, somethings better than nothing. Hopefully it will bring more of a general awareness to the public about these kinds of issues
How can you even be surprised at this point? Republicans have been shouting for cap and trade on carbon emissions since HW Bush, but now that Obama has tried to put the same policy in place they can't hate it enough.
