Large Scale Physical Variability of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem
The Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) is situated off the west coast of Africa between 5-37oS, 0-26oE, and spans the three countries of Angola, Namibia and South Africa. It is one of the four major eastern boundary current upwelling systems of the world oceans (Hill et al. 1998), and although it has some similar characteristics to the other eastern boundary upwelling areas, a uniq...
متن کاملEmergence of anoxia in the California current large marine ecosystem.
Eastern boundary current systems are among the world's most productive large marine ecosystems. Because upwelling currents transport nutrient-rich but oxygen-depleted water onto shallow seas, large expanses of productive continental shelves can be vulnerable to the risk of extreme low-oxygen events. Here, we report the novel rise of water-column shelf anoxia in the northern California Current s...
متن کاملEvaluating tradeoffs among ecosystem services to inform marine spatial planning
A central challenge for natural resource management is developing rigorous yet practical approaches for balancing the costs and benefits of diverse human uses of ecosystems. Economic theory has a long history of evaluating tradeoffs in returns from different assets to identify optimal investment strategies. There has been recent progress applying this framework to the delivery of ecosystem serv...

متن کاملEssential ecological insights for marine ecosystem-based management and marine spatial planning
The abrupt decline in the sea’s capacity to provide crucial ecosystem services requires a new ecosystembased approach for maintaining and recovering biodiversity and integrity. Ecosystems are places, so marine spatial planners and managers must understand the heterogeneity of biological communities and their key components (especially apex predators and structure-forming species), and of key pr...
