Ranking and mapping the impact of human activities on global ocean ecosystems
Conservation prioritization and spatially explicit management of the oceans require high-resolution maps of where human impacts to marine ecosystems occur, yet few such maps exist. Here we synthesize global data on 17 threats and 14 marine ecosystems to produce a global, 1km2 resolution map of human...
