Challenges Facing Ocean Advocacy.

Despite these advancements, ocean advocacy faces several barriers:

Enforcement Gaps: Many policies lack proper enforcement, allowing illegal fishing, habitat destruction, and pollution to persist.

• Corporate Resistance: Industries reliant on unsustainable ocean practices often push back against stricter regulations.

• Climate Change Impacts: Rising ocean temperatures, acidification, and extreme weather events threaten marine life, undermining conservation efforts.

• Funding Shortages: Many conservation projects struggle to secure long-term funding for research and implementation.
