- Statement 1: Reducing marine debris (especially plastic) is a central goal for numerous initiatives aimed at cleaning the ocean. The specific percentage (20-50%) might refer to a target from a specific, potentially lesser-known, manifesto or proposal, but the goal itself is prominent. - Statement 2: Implementing a comprehensive monitoring system is essential for assessing the state of the ocean, tracking pollution, and evaluating the effectiveness of cleanup efforts. A high-tech, potentially globe- circling, system aligns with the need for robust data collection. - Statement 3: Protecting polar regions and addressing climate change impacts like sea- level rise ("preventing ocean high levels") are crucial for ocean health but fall more under the broader scope of climate action and conservation rather than solely a "Clean Ocean" focus, which often emphasizes pollution and debris. The phrasing "preventing ocean high levels" is also unusual.
Which of the following are the two aims of “Clean Ocean Manifesto” of United Nations? 1. Reducing marine debris by 20-50 per cent 2. Globe circling & high-tech system of monitors 3. Protecting the Arctic and Antarctica from melting and preventing ocean high levels
