A campaign for blue planet protection

The oceans have become so depleted by over-fishing, pollution and climate change that they can only be saved by a large global network of reserves, according to a growing consensus among marine scientists.
Campaigners say that sea life -- particularly at the top of the food chain -- is suffering to such an extent that there will eventually be no fish left unless drastic action is not taken to protect the oceans.
More than 70 percent of the world is covered by oceans.
Currently there are more than 4,000 marine protected areas covering just over 1 percent of the oceans, but the vast majority of reserves have only limited protection.
According to Professor Callum Roberts, of the University of York, one of the leading campaigners, only about 0.1 percent of the sea is completely protected from all exploitation.
He said that this should be between 25 and 45 percent to give marine species the best chance of recovery.
He added "There's strong and ample evidence that the oceans' eco systems are in trouble and need protection."
"Fishing now reaches every corner of the world's oceans, so the only refuges are those we have chosen to create."
"In the future climate change is going to loom ever more heavily as a factor in damaging marine life. The only way the oceans can remain resilient to climate change is by establishing more protection."
