Here’s the latest proof of what we warned about in our latest @therevelator.org piece: Protections w/out durability aren’t protections at all. Trump reopening an Atlantic marine monument to commercial fishing shows how 30x30 collapses when conservation can be erased every four years—at whim, by pen.
Trump opens marine national monument in Atlantic to commercial fishing
Off the coast of Cape Cod, the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is a unique stretch of ocean that had been protected for a decade.

Our @therevelator.org essay frames the ocean side of 30×30 as a durability test. We can’t fence our way out. Climate change, extraction, and political whiplash must be confronted—and while Angelo centers nearshore, the new High Seas Treaty finally equips 30×30 to protect waters beyond borders.

Animals get used as climate icons in messaging, yet real climate policy still leaves out the very species that help lock up carbon and build resilient ecosystems. We champion whales and forests in banners, but policy asks rarely include animals as climate allies. Important piece by Silvia Mantilla.
