Highlights

  • The ocean science and policy communities articulate two prevailing arguments to encourage changes in human behavior that will result in conservation of marine biological diversity

  • Precautionary cuts in allowable catch of fisheries, reductions in bycatch, and improved habitat protection can increase the probability of maintaining exploitable populations at levels that allow long-term economic benefits to society. Nested within this utilitarian view is a focus on conserving biological diversity by maintaining suitable habitat conditions for species of economic importance

  • In addition to promoting wise laws and regulations related to human uses of the oceans, action must be taken to shift public attitudes in ways that enhance marine conservation efforts that will result in local conservation efforts and increase political will for broader conservation actions
