TL;DR: Scenarios consistently indicate that biodiversity will continue to decline over the 21st century, however, the range of projected changes is much broader than most studies suggest, partly because there are major opportunities to intervene through better policies, but also because of large uncertainties in projections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting futures for ocean and society from different anthropogenic CO2 emissions scenarios
Jean-Pierre Gattuso,Jean-Pierre Gattuso,Alexandre K. Magnan,Raphaël Billé,William W. L. Cheung,Ella L. Howes,Fortunat Joos,D. Allemand,Laurent Bopp,Sarah R. Cooley,C. M. Eakin,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Ryan P. Kelly,Hans-Otto Pörtner,Alex Rogers,John M. Baxter,D. Laffoley,D. Osborn,Aleksandar Rankovic,Julien Rochette,Ussif Rashid Sumaila,Sébastien Treyer,Carol Turley +22 more
TL;DR: The physics, chemistry, and ecology of the oceans might be affected based on two CO2 emission trajectories: one business as usual and one with aggressive reductions, consistent with the Copenhagen Accord of keeping mean global temperature increase below 2°C in the 21st century.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marine reserves can mitigate and promote adaptation to climate change.
Callum M. Roberts,Bethan Christine O'Leary,Douglas J. McCauley,Philippe Cury,Carlos M. Duarte,Jane Lubchenco,Daniel Pauly,Andrea Sáenz-Arroyo,Ussif Rashid Sumaila,Rod W. Wilson,Boris Worm,Juan Carlos Castilla +11 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that marine reserves are a viable low-tech, cost-effective adaptation strategy that would yield multiple cobenefits from local to global scales, improving the outlook for the environment and people into the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
The global contribution of forage fish to marine fisheries and ecosystems
Ellen K. Pikitch,Konstantine J. Rountos,Timothy E. Essington,Christine Santora,Daniel Pauly,Reg Watson,Ussif Rashid Sumaila,P. Dee Boersma,Ian L. Boyd,David O. Conover,Philippe Cury,Selina S. Heppell,Edward D. Houde,Marc Mangel,Keith Sainsbury,Robert S. Steneck,Tess M Geers,Natasha J. Gownaris,Stephan B. Munch +18 more
TL;DR: Forage fish play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems and economies worldwide by sustaining many predators and fisheries directly and indirectly as discussed by the authors, and they contribute a total of about $16.9 billion USD to global fisheries values annually.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of marine fisheries to worldwide employment
TL;DR: In this article, a database of marine fisheries employment for 144 coastal nations was compiled and gaps in employment data that emerged were filled using a Monte Carlo approach to estimate the number of direct and indirect fisheries jobs.
