Ocean Biodiversity


Biodiversity hotspots
  • areas containing many different species
  • important for locating targets for  31
  • at first only identified on land
Boris Worm, 2005
  • identified hotspots for large ocean predators, e.g. sharks
  • found that ocean hotspots:
          –     were not always rich in 32
          –     had higher temperatures at the 33
          –     had sufficient 34 in the water
Lisa Ballance, 2007
  • looked for hotspots for marine 35
  • found these were all located where ocean currents meet
Census of Marine Life
  • found new ocean species living:
          –    under the 36 
       –    near volcanoes on the ocean floor

Global Marine Species Assessment
  • want to list endangered ocean species, considering:
            –        population size
           –        geographical distribution
           –      rate of 37
  • Aim: to assess 20,000 species and make a distribution 38 for each one
Recommendations to retain ocean biodiversity
  • increase the number of ocean reserves
  • establish 39 corridors (e.g. for turtles)
  • reduce fishing quotas
  • catch fish only for the purpose of 40
