Notes |
Current evidence indicates that, compared with loss of biodiversity in freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, the rate of loss in marine systems is relatively slow (N.K. Dulvy – Recent marine extinctions, this meeting). This is not a cause for complacency, and the rate of loss is probably underestimated, but it challenges us to explain why protection of marine biodiversity is an urgent concern, when assigning priorities for research and management. |
