Looking slightly weary of the photographer, a school of black margate fish drift in the water column of Belize’s Hol Chan marine reserve. This marine protected area - located off of Ambergris Caye - was created in 1987, allowing marine life and ecosystems to thrive over the past three decades. Most researchers tell us that at least 30% of Earth’s oceans must be protected in order to have a healthy planet, yet today only about 3% of these waters have been conserved. The ocean is the greatest carbon sink on Earth, taking in carbon and giving back oxygen.
As fish populations are decimated and increased amounts of carbon from fossil fuels are added to the water, ecosystems are destroyed and the ocean loses its ability to function efficiently. Creating more marine protected areas then is not only good for fish, but for all life on Earth.
