30x30: Why Marine Protected Areas Alone Fall Short

Original: 30x30: Why declaring marine protected areas is not enough

The 30x30 initiative calls for protecting 30% of the world's oceans by 2030, but protecting oceans on paper is not enough, according to the World Economic Forum. Declaring marine protected areas does not guarantee real conservation unless enforcement, funding and management follow, as many existing reserves remain poorly policed and continue to allow damaging activity.

Why now: Debate over whether the 30x30 conservation target is being met with genuine protection rather than just paper commitments.
