FYI about 30% of the ocean protected is the minimum generally agreed by scientists to keep most of the necessary functions such as providing us food

And even the most minimal we will not be bothered to protect since this is non binding

If 30% is literally the bare minimum required to avoid environmental collapse, it's obviously not enough. That leaves no leeway, no room for error or accidents, man-made or natural, even IF everyone actually abides by it. It's pure human hubris to also assume these calculations are 100% accurate when dealing with such complex systems or that some new factors couldn't change things. You don't park a car on the very edge of a cliff and then get to be shocked that something happened to it when you could have easily parked it at a safer distance.
