A climate-action blueprint attributed to David Attenborough calls for creating large no-fishing marine protected areas covering at least one-third of the world's oceans.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
MOSTLY BS — Verdict: Mostly False

The Short Version
The ocean-protection goal is real, but the claim misstates what is attached to Attenborough. His documentary and related advocacy do call for fully protected or no-fishing marine areas covering roughly a third of the ocean, yet this is not a personal climate blueprint authored by him. It is a pre-existing scientific and policy target that he publicizes.
Caveats
The phrase “climate-action blueprint attributed to David Attenborough” is misleading: the evidence points to a documentary and advocacy campaign, not an Attenborough-authored policy blueprint.
The one-third or 30% no-take target predates the film and comes from broader scientific and intergovernmental 30x30 efforts.
Do not confuse endorsement or narration of a policy goal with ownership or authorship of that goal.
