Marine biodiversity conservation
Current Biology, 2021Marine biodiversity is the essential foundation for the structure and functioning of ocean ecosystems and for providing the full range of ecosystem services that benefit humans on local, regional, and global scales. These benefits include many visible as well as unseen functions and services such as the oxygen we breathe, the seafood we eat, the ...

The term marine biodiversity encompasses a broad range of subjects, spanning from descriptions of single species, or taxa, to habitats and ecosystems, and indeed the global ocean. The Convention on Biological Diversity defines biodiversity (or biological diversity) as “the variability among living organisms from all sources, including inter alia ...

This chapter assesses how biodiversity research is carried out scientifically by being quantified. By measuring a component of marine biodiversity, ecologists can postulate hypotheses and make predictions that can be subjected to rigorous scientific testing. Species diversity is the component of marine biodiversity most commonly measured.

Science, 1997
Ecosystem protection is a crucial strategy for conserving biological diversity ([1][1]), but the Clinton Administration's fiscal year 1998 budget proposal reveals a striking disparity between U.S. spending on protected areas on land and in the sea. It asks Congress for $1.6 billion for the National Park Service to manage 374 units totaling 344,000 ...

The past two and a half centuries of marine biological work in the Southern Ocean have resulted in a vast catalogue of living organisms. During this time there have been several attempts to classify distinct regional biodiversity patterns in the seas around Antarctica.

The biodiversity of many ecosystems is under threat and although seas cover the majority of our planet's surface, far less is known about the biodiversity of marine environments than that of terrestrial systems. It is also not clear whether many of the patterns known to occur on land also occur in the sea.

Biodiversity of Marine Ecosystems
2023The water covers about 71% of the earth's surface and occupies an area of about 361 million km2 and a volume of about 1370 million km3 of water. Oceans and seas are responsible for maintaining the global climate by regulating air temperature and supplying moisture for rainfall. They play a major part in the global carbon cycle, removing almost 25% of

Rebuilding marine biodiversity
2021Implementing CBD requirements to protect 30% of the global ocean will need to be informed by what interventions can address pressures on marine ecosystems to be successful.

Is Marine Biodiversity At Risk?
Science, 1994Evidence is beginning to accumulate that human development of coastlines and overfishing may be having deleterious effects on marine biodiversity. Although some biologists doubt marine extinctions, the possibility is being taken seriously by scientific organizations, who have been sponsoring conferences and workshops on the changing diversity of the ...

This chapter covers what is meant when we talk about marine biodiversity. The term ‘biodiversity’ is a value-laden term because of its links to biological conservation. Marine biodiversity can be studied at any level of biological organization, from biomolecules to the biosphere. Whether or not viruses should be included as part of biodiversity depends
