This is really positive and good news. But more needs to be done and quicker. The facts are that managing the oceans sustainably and respecting the amazing ecosystem that is trying to survive our onslaught, is not only good for humans, it’s good business too. So politicians (around the world), stop pandering to your corporate sponsors who care only about profit today and not food and thriving, beautiful oceans for your people tomorrow.
