TL;DR: The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework as discussed by the authors, which will underpin all IPBES functions and provide structure and comparability to the syntheses that will produce at different spatial scales, on different themes, and in different regions.

TL;DR: The authors in this paper show that the combination of very low target population productivity, nonselective fishing gear, economics that favor population liquidation and a very weak regulatory regime makes deep-sea fisheries unsustainable with very few exceptions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a framework that integrates existing knowledge from literature and expert opinions to rapidly assess the relationships between one SDG goal and another, focusing on how SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and the targets within that goal, contributes to other SDG goals.

TL;DR: The first standardized, global assessment of these fishes, using Red List criteria, reveals threatened species needing protection and prompts a need for alternative means of assessment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse spatial and temporal patterns of global fishing effort and its relationship with catch to assess the status of the world's fisheries, revealing that fleets now fish all of the oceans and have increased in power by an average of 10-fold (25-fold for Asia) since the 1950s.
