The Majority is pushing a so-called 30x30 idea, locking up 30 percent of our oceans by 2030, all under the guise of protecting biodiversity while tackling climate change.

Instead of helping, it seems the Majority is more interested in putting fishermen's livelihood at risk in the name of faux conservation.
