Not too late to save oceans - SPC official

 

From Dateline Pacific, 3:03 pm 25/07/2019

The Pacific Community's oceans' manager says despite worrying signs, it's not too late to reverse the declining state of the world's oceans.

A recent assessment by the UN concluded that the ocean is failing, with declining biodiversity and fish stocks, ocean acidification and sea-level rise.

However, Jens Kruger says there is still time to implement "the science needed for the oceans we want".

He spoke with Dominic Godfrey at the first of a worldwide round of UN consultations which is underway in New Caledonia.
