Mapping species richness and human impact drivers to inform global pelagic conservation prioritisation

2011-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Given the widely recognized need to better protect the oceans but limited resources to do so, methods for prioritizing potential protected area sites are important. This is particularly true for the open oceans, where few protected areas currently exist and data availability is limited. Here, we examine the relationship between the distributions of tuna and billfish species richness (an indicator of pelagic biodiv...
