An improved knowledge of marine biodiversity at various scales (from genes to ecosystems) is required to facilitate building integrated scenarios and policies for a sustainable development as well as its conservation. Understanding species interactions, ecosystem functioning and dynamics, as well as biodiversity uses is presently a scientific challenge. Conservation of marine biodiversity is now a worldwide priority emphasized by several international conventions (UN, CBD..) and a key target for European policies and national strategies. This book provides a comprehensive review of the status and trends of marine biodiversity, an impact assessment of human activities and suggests a conceptual framework for relationships between biodiversity and human societies. Further research needs and priorities are identified to sustain the development of integrated scenarios and policies, considering a sustainable development as well as biodiversity conservation. The book is the product of a collective scientific expertise based upon international experts originating from social, biological and ecological sciences.       .BiodiversityMarine sciencesFreshwaterSustainable developmentConservation biologyEcology WildlifeFishSocial sciencesBiodiversityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031Marine & Freshwater Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Conservation Biology/Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150Fish & Wildlife Biology & Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25080Social Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X00000Biodiversity.Marine sciences.Freshwater.Sustainable development.Conservation biology.Ecology .Wildlife.Fish.Social sciences.Biodiversity.Marine & Freshwater Sciences.Sustainable Development.Conservation Biology/Ecology.Fish & Wildlife Biology & Management.Social Sciences, general.333.95616341.4/5Goulletquer Philippeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut969929Gros Philippeauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBoeuf Gillesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autWeber Jacquesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910298309503321Biodiversity in the Marine Environment2505634UNINA
