Amazingly, he could actually be a worse Secretary of State than Hillary Clinton.

US Secretary of State John Kerry has called for a global regime to protect the oceans, which he said were under threat from too much fishing, acidification from climate change and marine pollution.

Mr Kerry opened the two-day ‘Our Ocean’ conference at the State Department on Monday with a call for all nations to move beyond talks and studies to taking specific steps toward a global agreement to protect the oceans.

“We are not going to meet this challenge unless the community of nations comes together around a single comprehensive global ocean strategy,” he said. […]

Mr Kerry, a long-time advocate of measures to address climate change when he was in the US Senate, said current piecemeal national policies to protect the world’s oceans failed to address problems that will affect the entire planet.

“If we are going to be able to honour our shared responsibility to protect the ocean, the ad hoc approach we have today, with each nation and community pursuing its own independent policy, simply will not suffice,” he said.

“That is not how the ocean works.”
