Advancing Global Biodiversity Governance: Recommendations for Strengthening the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Bundela, Kumar Amit

Gasparatos, Alexandros

Priyadarshini, Priya

et al

Reversing ecosystem degradation and halting global biodiversity loss due to climate change and other anthropogenic drivers are essential for socioeconomic development and human wellbeing, as well as for advancing global sustainability.

Drowning in Plastics : Marine Litter and Plastic Waste Vital Graphics

Waste Management and Pollution Control

Available Online

Baker, Elaine

Rucevska, Ieva

Tsakona, Marina

et al

Global plastics production has risen exponentially over the last decades - now amounting to some 400 million tonnes per year. Although plastic serves many useful purposes, its rapidly growing production and consumption coupled with a lack of a circular approaches keeping plastic in the economy and out of the environment.

Integrating Morphological and Genetic Data at different spatial scales in a comopolitan Marine Turtle species: Challenges for Management Conservation

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Alvarez-Varas, Rocio

Heidemeyer, Maike

Riginos, Cynthia

et al

Pattern of genetic structure in highly mobile marine vertebrates may be accomplished by genotypic variation. Most studies in marine turtles focused on population genetic structure have been performed at rookeries.

Global collision-risk Hotspots of Marine traffic and the World’s largest Fish, the Whale Shark

Available Online

Humphries, Nicolas E

Vedor, Marisa

Womersley, Freya C.

et al

Marine traffic is increasing globally yet collisions with endangered megafauna such as whales, sea turtles, and planktivorous sharks go largely undetected or unreported. Collisions leading to mortality can have population-level consequences for endangered species

Participation, not enalties: Community Involvement and Equitable Governance Contribute to more Effective Multiuse Protected areas

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Ahamdia,Gabby N

Cox, Courtney

Fidler, Robert Y.

et al

Accelerating ecosystem degradation has spurred proposals ti vastly expand the extent of protected areas (PCs), potentially affecting the livelihoods and well-being of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) worldwide.

Marine anoxia linked to abrupt Global Warming during Earth’s Penultimate Icehouse

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Chen, Jitao

Montanez, Isabel P.

Zhang, Shuang

et al

Piecing together the history carbon (C) perturbation events throughout Earth's history has provided key insights into how the Earth system responds to abrupt warming.

Risk‐sensitive Planning for Conserving Coral Reefs under Rapid Climate Change

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Beger, Maria

Beyer, Hawthorne L.

Chen, Chaolun Allen

Kennedy, Emma V

et al

Coral reef ecosystems are seriously threatened by changing conditions in the ocean. Although many factors are implicated, climate change has emerged as a dominant and rapidly growing threat.

A Typology for Reef Passages

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Biertwirth, Jan

Breckwoldt, Annette

Moosdorf, Nils

Nozik, Alexandra

et al

Coral reefs host exceptionally diverse and abundant marine life. Connecting coasts and sheltered lagoons to the open ocean reef passages are important yet poorly studies components of these ecosystems.

Assessment of Scientific gaps related to the Effective Environmental Management of Deep-Seabed Mining

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Amon, Diva J.

Gollner, Sabine

Morato, Telmo

et al

A comprehensive understanding of the deep-sea environment and mining's likely to impacts is unnecessary to assess whether and under what conditions deep-seabed mining operations com;y with the International Seabed Authority's obligations to prevent serious harm and ensure the effective protection of the marine environment form harmful effects in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

New Perspectives on an Old Fishing Practice: Scale, Context and Impacts of Bottom Trawling

Environmental Governance, Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Lewis, Forrest

Steadman, Daniel

Thomas, John B

Villanueva, Vanessa Rivas

et al

Bottom trawling is a globally widespread fishing practice responsible for 26% of the total marine fisheries catch. Bottom trawling is a method for catching aquatic animals that involves dragging a weighted net to rigid structure from a vessel along the seafloor. This report seeks to provide new perspectives on this historical controversy by presenting the most up-to-date synthesis of available data and evidence on bottom trawling's extent, impacts and solutions in order to inform constructive policy-making.
