Avoiding a crisis of motivation for ocean management under global environmental change
Abstract Climate change and ocean acidification are altering marine ecosystems and, from a human perspective, creating both winners and losers. Human responses to these changes are complex, but may result in reduced government investments in regulation, resource management, monitoring and enforcemen...
