Reply to Like Cool Runnings, but on skis: Mexican biathlon team wins hearts at Canmore competition by mapsandcookies
Absolutely amazing! I'm so proud that a team from a country not typically known for winter sports is making such an amazing showing at a competition like Canmore. It goes to show that talent, hard work, and dedication can triumph over any preconceived notions of what's possible.

That’s not a good analogy at all.
If anything it’s the exact opposite of cancer spreading to healthy parts of the body - protected zones in the ocean have been shown to thrive, and improve the biodiversity of the surrounding unprotected zones.

Now apply? That should be being done without someone applying.

UN frameworks are adhered to in the vast majority of cases. The Kyoto protocol f.eks. was actually overachieved by everyone that didn't leave it.

China was one of the driving forces behind brokering this deal.
They may not give a fuck about other countries' sovereign waters, but they do care about their own interests. As a country that consumes vast amounts of fish, they're actually more exposed to loss of ocean biodiversity than a lot of other nations, and the CCP is aware of it. They can't send out factory ships to steal fish from other waters if there aren't any fish.
The agreement is (in part) about where fishing can be done, and they'll be hoping that the 30% of protected ocean (including protecting spawning sites or whatever) will be enough to feed the remainder with fish so they can carry on much as they have been outside those areas.
Also, don't assume that in the final implementation, China will be allowing any of those protected areas close to its waters.

They will if they want more fish. When these areas have been implemented elsewhere, the unprotected areas immediately surrounding the protected ones saw a large increase in the amount of fish, as they spilled over from the protected areas.
