Adaptation options in response to climate impact scenarios for marine mammals and
seabirds were developed based on the IPCC vulnerability framework. Under this framework …

Conservation of marine species typically focuses on monitoring and mitigating demonstrated
stressors where possible. Evidence is accumulating that some species will be negatively …

Worldwide, conservation initiatives have attempted to curb illegal harvest, use and trade of
marine turtles at least since the 1950s. Despite some declines in local trade and …

Bycatch reduction technologies (BRTs) have been developed to limit the incidental capture
of non-target marine species in fishing gear, especially those species of special concern …

The evaluation of ecosystem quality is inherently subjective, requiring decisions about which
variables to notice or measure, and how these variables are integrated into a coherent …

Detecting declines and quantifying extinction risk of long‐lived, highly fecund vertebrates,
including fishes, reptiles, and amphibians, can be challenging. In addition to the false notion …

Identifying, assessing, and ranking the impact of individual threats is fundamental to the
conservation and recovery of rare and endangered species. In this analysis, we quantify not …

Ensuring the persistence of at-risk species depends on implementing conservation actions
that ameliorate threats. We developed and implemented a method to quantify the relative …

The opaque nature of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing means that the data
on catches are scarce or unreliable, making it difficult to estimate the volume of illegal fishing …

The impacts of anthropogenic climate change will be most dramatic for species that live in
narrow thermal niches, such as reptiles. Given the imminent threat to biodiversity, and that …
