The Location and Protection Status of Earth’s Diminishing Marine Wilderness [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Highlights d We classify 13.2% (55 million km 2) of the world's ocean as marine wilderness d Little wilderness remains in coastal areas (e.g., coral reefs) d Only 4.9% of marine wilderness is currently within marine protected areas d Targets to retain marine wilderness are needed in global conservation strategies Correspondence krjones@wcs.org In Brief Jones et al. show that Earth's marine wilderness has been eroded by humanity, with 13.2% now remaining across the oceans. Despite holding high genetic diversity, unique functional traits, and endemic species, wilderness areas are ignored in global environmental agreements, highlighting the need for urgent policy attention.
