It's too late to restore the ocean, argues new op-ed
Original: Contributor: It's too late to restore the ocean. Now all we can do is triage
A Los Angeles Times contributor argues that efforts to restore the world's oceans to their former state have come too late, and that attention must now shift to 'triage' — prioritising which marine ecosystems and species can still be saved. The piece frames ocean degradation as so advanced that conservation must focus on damage control rather than recovery.
Why now: The stark claim that ocean restoration is no longer possible challenges common conservation messaging, prompting debate about priorities in marine protection.
