Less than 1% of our oceans are protected

Great article by Moses Amweelo who says (amongst other things)...

"Our oceans give us life - they provide us with oxygen and food, and they contain over 80% of all life on Earth. In exchange, we plunder them of fish, choke them with pollution and heat them up through climate change.
Despite the critical role that oceans play in our lives, they are still the least protected areas of our planet. Currently, less than 1% of our seas and oceans are protected. "
