A report looking into the role of marine reserves in boosting ecosystem resilience to climate change.

The IPCC (Integovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is warning that we have eroded the ocean's ability to cope with and mitigate the consequences of global warming. They recommend that we reduce our exploitation levels of marine fish and other maritime activities in order to improve the resilience of our seas and oceans and ultimately safeguard their role in stabilising the climate.
