Our ocean life requires a delicate balance to ensure sustainability and growth for the years to come. However, overfishing, pollution, tourism, and climate change have all had severe negative impacts on Earth’s oceans and ocean life.
To combat this, the Pew Environment Group has started a project called Global Ocean Legacy. The goal of the Global Ocean Legacy is to establish highly protected global marine reserves that restrict activities that take away from such environments.
While small reserves do exist to protect certain species of marine life, larger reserves would serve as a safe-haven for marine life and would protect all marine life in such areas. The goal is to create reserves comparable to national parks on land.
