Australia is protecting 52% of territorial waters Australia is protecting an additional 10,000 square miles around two of their islands far to the south, bringing their total marine conservation areas, what they call marine parks, to over half of their territorial waters, more than any other country. Located over 2,000 miles south of the Australian continent, Heard and McDonald Islands make up about 144 square miles of volcanic terrain that represent one of the most remote places on Earth. https://darcyhitchcock.wordpress.com/2024/12/22/australia-is-protecting-52-of-territorial-waters/
