TL;DR: This article developed an ecosystem-specific, multiscale spatial model to synthesize 17 global data sets of anthropogenic drivers of ecological change for 20 marine ecosystems and found that no area is unaffected by human influence and that a large fraction (41%) is strongly affected by multiple drivers.

TL;DR: Renewable energy sources from the ocean may be exploited without harming the marine environment if projects are sited and scaled appropriately and environmental guidelines are followed as discussed by the authors, but the ocean environment should be protected while these technologies are developed.

TL;DR: In this article, the utility of geospatial analysis tools for eliciting and integrating fishermen's 1 knowledge into marine protected area (MPA) planning processes in California, United States was tested.

TL;DR: A review of the key assumptions that underlie most cumulative impact mapping efforts is provided, describing the implications and rationales for the assumptions, and highlighting the many challenges cumulativeimpact mapping efforts face.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors distill a set of seven principles to guide effective management in ecosystems with tipping points, derived from the best available science, based on observations that tipping points are possible everywhere, are associated with intense and/or multifaceted human use, may be preceded by changes in early warning indicators, may redistribute benefits among stakeholders, affect the relative costs of action and inaction, and often require an adaptive response to monitoring.
