Marine Ecosystem Degradation
Key messages Marine ecosystem degradation involves the loss of benefits to society; it can occur as a result of natural causes or human activity. Impacts of climate change, including ocean acidification, are inherently global. Widespread local activities can also have cumulative global effects....
