海洋和沿海生境的生物多样性正在经历前所未有的变化。虽然这些变化有众所周知的驱动因素，如过度捕捞、气候变化和污染，但也有一些相对不为人所知的新出现的问题，这些问题对海洋和沿海生态系统具有潜在的积极或消极影响，人们对这些问题缺乏了解或认识。在这次首次海洋和沿海地平线扫描中，我们聚集了30名在海洋和沿海系统具有跨学科专业知识的科学家、政策制定者和实践者，以确定可能在未来5-10年内对海洋和沿海生物多样性的运作和保护产生重大影响的新问题。根据修改后的德尔福投票程序，最后提出的15个问题是从参与者在进程开始时提交的75个问题清单中提炼出来的。这些问题分为三类：生态系统影响，例如野火的影响和向极地迁徙对赤道生物多样性的影响；资源开发，包括鱼膀胱贸易的增加和海洋胶原蛋白的开发；以及新技术，如软机器人和新的可生物降解产品。我们及早发现这些问题及其对海洋和沿海生物多样性的潜在影响，将支持科学家、自然资源保护者、资源管理者和政策制定者应对海洋生态系统面临的挑战。一个由科学家、政策制定者和从业人员组成的小组使用迭代投票程序，整理了未来5-10年可能影响海洋和沿海生物多样性的15个优先新兴问题的清单。
The biodiversity of marine and coastal habitats is experiencing unprecedented change. While there are well-known drivers of these changes, such as overexploitation, climate change and pollution, there are also relatively unknown emerging issues that are poorly understood or recognized that have potentially positive or negative impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems. In this inaugural Marine and Coastal Horizon Scan, we brought together 30 scientists, policymakers and practitioners with transdisciplinary expertise in marine and coastal systems to identify new issues that are likely to have a significant impact on the functioning and conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity over the next 5-10 years. Based on a modified Delphi voting process, the final 15 issues presented were distilled from a list of 75 submitted by participants at the start of the process. These issues are grouped into three categories: ecosystem impacts, for example the impact of wildfires and the effect of poleward migration on equatorial biodiversity; resource exploitation, including an increase in the trade of fish swim bladders and increased exploitation of marine collagens; and new technologies, such as soft robotics and new biodegradable products. Our early identification of these issues and their potential impacts on marine and coastal biodiversity will support scientists, conservationists, resource managers and policymakers to address the challenges facing marine ecosystems.A panel of scientists, policymakers and practitioners have used an iterative voting process to collate a list of 15 priority emerging issues likely to affect marine and coastal biodiversity over the next 5-10 years.
