Ocean Summit / 30% Protected by 2030 goal

Over 8,000 people attended, with free registration and no travel, something that would have been impossible before Covid moved everything to video conference. One presenter noted that last years’ virtual UN World Ocean Forum had over 60,000 daily attendees. There seems to be a lot of momentum behind the 30/30 goal of protecting 30% of the oceans by the year 2030. The proportion has doubled to 7.5% in the last decade.
