Protecting

In the run-up to #COP26, we asked our researchers to tell us about their work and the challenges of tackling #climatechange.
Dr Lee de Mora is a Marine #Ecosystem Modeller at Plymouth Marine Laboratory. His research is dedicated to understanding how future #emissions will affect our planet, especially the #oceans, using computer simulations.
"What I really want to see from COP26 is an international commitment to protect the ocean" says Lee. "At the moment, only 2% of the ocean is protected from fishing and mining, but at COP26, we could choose to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030."
