Science in support of ecosystem-based management for the US West Coast and beyond (2010, background): “However, information to conduct the third question, impact assessment (for both ecological and human systems), is much rarer, although there are methods using expert opinion that can estimate relative ecosystem impacts (Halpern et al., 2007; Teck et al., 2010).”
Ecological value of coastal habitats for commercially and ecologically important species (2014, background): “A synthesis of the interaction of human activities with marine ecosystems indicated that “no area is unaffected by human impact” (Halpern et al., 2008), and other studies show coastal habitats are threatened by multiple anthropogenic impacts (Lotze et al., 2006; Halpern et al., 2007).”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “differential vulnerability of diverse habitat types to similar threats [135].”
A comparison of threats, vulnerabilities and management approaches in global seagrass bioregions (2012, methodology): “Structured approaches to expert elicitation provide a transparent and explicit process to identify and compare diverse anthropogenic activities in data-poor scenarios (e.g. Halpern et al 2007, Selkoe et al 2008, Donlan et al 2010, Teck et al 2010).”
Global conservation status and research needs for tarpons (Megalopidae), ladyfishes (Elopidae) and bonefishes (Albulidae) (2014, background): “Worldwide, overharvest and habitat loss or degradation are major anthropogenic threats to fisheries (Halpern et al. 2007).”
A blueprint for securing Brazil's marine biodiversity and supporting the achievement of global conservation goals (2020, methodology): “We incorporated the sensitivity of each habitat to each threat (i.e. "vulnerability") following the framework developed by Halpern et al. (2007), based on expert judgement.”
Key principles of marine ecosystem-based management (2015, background): “, through overexploitation, habitat loss and pollution – have placed great pressure on marine systems [4–6], thereby threatening the future of marine ecosystems, and the services they provide [5,6].”
How many habitats are there in the sea (and where) (2008, background): “To date, at global scale, up to 38 anthropogenic threats on 23 marine ecosystems have been identi! ed ( Halpern et al., 2007 ).”
The soundscape of the Anthropocene ocean (2021, background): “Because species-sensitivity distributionmodels (120) have not yet been generated, alternative approaches for the regulation of anthropogenic noise must be developed.”
Feasible Options for Behavior Change Toward More Effective Ocean Literacy: A Systematic Review (2019, background): “Anthropogenic climate change is constantly becoming the biggest threat and has already led to increasing sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and additional changes like rising sea levels, increasing ocean stratification, decreasing sea-ice extent, altered patterns of ocean circulation, and modifi”
