Ignoring the Oceans

Seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. The UN's Cop15 meeting was mandated to focus on conserving our planet's biodiversity and ecological systems. It's consequently a glaring omission that the word 'ocean' is only mentioned twice, in Cop15's current 5000 word 'working agreement'. Working agreements determine any subsequent binding changes and actions (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/16/negotiators-cop15-barely-mentioning-ocean). Marine biodiversity seems to be largely ignored, perhaps to augment the chances of getting general agreement on terrestrial systems. Few authorities appear to want to take the responsibility for the oceans (and their organisms) around their countries. It's obvious, however, that merely attempting to save terrestrial biodiversity, won't result in a viable planet. The oceans are too important to be ignored.
