Allowing the planet’s ocean life to recover to full abundance by 2050 is not only achievable, a large group of research scientists says, but necessary to help feed the world, hold down insurance costs and keep profitable tourism afloat.
A report by Duarte, Agusti and others published in the journal Nature ahead of Wednesday’s marking of the 50th Earth Day, joins marine scientists across four continents, 10 countries and 16 universities.What’s the cost for substantial rebuilding of marine life by 2050? The United Nations initiated, in 2018, a pact to reach a new legally binding treaty to protect marine life in the high seas by 2020. This proposed treaty could enhance cooperation, governance and funds for conservation and restoration of high-seas and deep-sea ecosystems damaged or at risk from commercial interests.
The optimism is countered with a healthy dose of realism. Achieving substantial recovery by 2050 requires that major pressures are mitigated soon, including climate change under the Paris Agreement, which at its most aggressive calls for slowing global warming to an average of 2 degrees Celsius. So far, the world is on course for a 3- to 4-degree Celsius rise, with potentially dramatic consequences for many countries, including rising sea levels and fiercer storms.
Great idea
Farm-raised EVERYTHING!
Scientists need to leave it alone and let god have the fish reproduce themselves. Man is a failure
