  • The story beginning overleaf assesses the implications for marine biodiversity of transgressing planetary boundaries, due to human-induced changes to the climate system, pollution and ocean acidification, as well as more direct threats like invasive species, overfishing and habitat destruction.

    UNESCO: Open Access to Scientific Information

  • At regional and local levels, it is important to reduce other environmental stressors such as local sources of pollution into the ocean.
