    Excerpt
    A major UN conference on how to restore the faltering health of global oceans kicked off in Lisbon this week with a flurry of promises to expand marine protected areas, ban deep-sea mining, and combat illegal fishing. UN chief Antonio Guterres set the tone Monday for the five-day meet by warning that the world’s oceans are in deep crisis. “Today we face what I would call an ocean emergency,” he told thousands of policymakers, experts, and advocates, detailing how seas have been hammered by climate change and pollution.
