Towards climate-smart, three-dimensional protected areas for biodiversity conservation in the high seas

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 April 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01323-7

Protecting the ocean from increasing threats requires the development of high-seas marine reserve networks. An approach that optimizes biodiversity, minimizes climate change exposure and reduces fisheries conflict enables low-regret climate-smart conservation areas to be identified.
