| source_abstract | This layer shows calculated and mapped recent changes over 5 years in cumulative impacts to marine ecosystems globally from fishing, climate change, and ocean- and land-based stressors. Nearly 66% of the ocean and 77% of national jurisdictions show increased human impact, driven mostly by climate change pressures. Five percent of the ocean is heavily impacted with increasing pressures, requiring management attention. Ten percent has very low impact with decreasing pressures. This data provides large-scale guidance about where to prioritize management efforts and affirm the importance of addressing climate change to maintain and improve the condition of marine ecosystems. See: Halpern, B. S. et al. 2015. Spatial and temporal changes in cumulative human impacts on the world’s ocean. Nat. Commun. 6:7615> [https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms8615].
