John Kerry calls for expansion of world's marine reserves

US secretary of state John Kerry called for expanding the world’s marine reserves by a factor of 10 on Tuesday, signalling a bolder new US approach to international environmental protection.
In his second environmental initiative this month, Kerry called for greater global co-operation in managing fishing stocks and protecting oceans from pollution and climate change.
He said the State Department would convene a two-day summit in the summer intended to build momentum for greater co-operation on managing the world’s oceans.
“Think of the progress we can make if just 10% of marine areas were protected,” Kerry said in a video address to a high-level oceans meeting hosted by the Economist and National Geographic. “I think that is a goal we should set for ourselves.”
