Humanity's well-being ultimately depends upon ecosystems and their provision of innumerable benefits ('ecosystem services'), including the production of fish and shellfish for harvest, the mitigation of coastal erosion and climate change, and the contribution to recreational experiences, aesthetic enjoyment, and cultural identity. Despite this fundamental reliance, human use of and impacts on ecosystems continue to outstrip their productive capacity and their ability to withstand and recover from change. In this research, my research group will address three critical gaps.

人类的福祉最终取决于生态系统及其提供的无数惠益(“生态系统服务”)，包括用于捕捞的鱼类和贝类的生产、减缓海岸侵蚀和气候变化，以及对娱乐体验、审美享受和文化认同的贡献。尽管存在这种根本依赖，但人类对生态系统的利用和影响继续超过其生产能力和承受变化并从中恢复的能力。在这项研究中，我的研究小组将解决三个关键差距。
