TL;DR: A comprehensive mid-term assessment of progress toward 20 biodiversity-related “Aichi Targets” to be achieved within a decade is provided using 55 indicator data sets and pinpoints the problems and areas that will need the most attention in the next few years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns and ecosystem consequences of shark declines in the ocean.
TL;DR: It is shown that the high natural diversity and abundance of sharks is vulnerable to even light fishing pressure, and that large sharks can exert strong top-down forces with the potential to shape marine communities over large spatial and temporal scales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rebuilding marine life

TL;DR: Recovery rates across studies suggest that substantial recovery of the abundance, structure and function of marine life could be achieved by 2050 if major pressures, including climate change, are mitigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustained climate warming drives declining marine biological productivity.

TL;DR: In a coupled climate simulation to the year 2300, the westerly winds strengthen and shift poleward, surface waters warm, and sea ice disappears, leading to intense nutrient trapping in the Southern Ocean, which drives a global-scale nutrient redistribution, with net transfer to the deep ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changing recruitment capacity in global fish stocks
TL;DR: Both environmental changes and chronic overfishing have already affected the productive capacity of many stocks at the recruitment stage of the life cycle, providing a baseline for ecosystem-based fisheries management and may help adjust expectations for future food production from the oceans.
