人类征服和支配自然的自我使命是现代世界认知基础的一部分--这一观点在科学和技术中仍然根深蒂固。海洋生物学也未能幸免于这种以海洋为中心的偏见。但这需要改变，基础科学学科与我们这个时代的全球保护需要之间的差距需要弥合。面对迫在眉睫的生态和气候危机，海洋生物学家必须提升他们的价值观和专业标准，帮助促进避免气候和生态崩溃所需的根本性转变。为了防止一些损害，他们必须跨越将科学与基于科学的行动主义分开的假想线，并有意识地追求人类和自然社区的健康和持久性。为此，他们可以（1）发展令人信服的故事，让人类社会参与进来，强调对野生生物世界的照顾;（2）超越纸面上的海洋保护，避免自私的顺从;（3）倡导市场和人类行为发生建设性变化，不仅要记录损害情况，而且要澄清开采，（4）通过个人和集体的努力，推动政治上的系统变革，支持环境行动主义和那些要求采取保护生物圈政策的人;以及（5）支持一个更加以生态为中心和全面的世界观，放弃对精神智慧的蔑视，并与鼓励平等、自我克制和环境可持续性的精神传统保持联系（或至少不排斥）。
Humanity’s self-ordained mandate to subdue and dominate nature is part of the cognitive foundation of the modern world — a perspective that remains deeply ingrained in science and technology. Marine biology has not been immune to this anthropocentric bias. But this needs to change, and the gaps between basic scientific disciplines and the global conservation imperatives of our time need to be bridged. In the face of a looming ecological and climate crisis, marine biologists must upgrade their values and professional standards and help foster the radical transformation needed to avert a climate and ecological breakdown. To prevent some of the damage, they must cross the imaginary line that separates science from science-based activism and consciously pursue the health and durability of human and natural communities. To this end, they can (1) develop compelling narratives that engage human society, with emphasis on care for the wild living world; (2) move beyond marine conservation on paper and avoid self-serving complaisance; (3) advocate constructive changes in market and human behaviour, not only by documenting damage but also by clarifying how the extraction, production and consumption system can be steered away from practices that harm nature; (4) push for systemic change in politics through individual and collective efforts, supporting environmental activism and those who demand biosphere-saving policies; and (5) endorse a more ecocentric and holistic world vision, relinquishing contempt for spiritual wisdom and liaising with (or at least not dismissing) spiritual traditions that encourage equality, self-restraint and environmental sustainability.
