10% for terrestrial and only 5% for oceans - while oceans cover 71% of the earth's surface? Seems skewed to me.

We must increase the protection of our oceans and enforce this protection.

I support the 22 new Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) that have been proposed by South Africa's government, as part of Operation Phakisa.

I hereby give my vote of support for the proclamation of new Marine Protected Areas around South Africa's coastline. These are essential to the conservation and wise-use of South Africa's marine and coastal environment.

South Africa is so very beautiful, sounded by some of the most dramatic and glorious coast line. We must protect and guard against using this recourse and life giving ocean that supports and gives us life.

South Africa's oceans are an incredible natural resource to protect for future generations. This is a very necessary step towards a sustainable and healthy ocean ecosystem.

These MPAs are critical, both for our people (particularly those who rely on the coasts and oceans for their survival) and for our biodiversity - for which we have signed the Rio Convention and made an international obligation to protect.

There are too few marine protected areas. I therefore fully support the set up of new marine parks.
