Resource managers and scientists from disparate disciplines are rising to the challenge of understanding and moderating human impacts on marine ecosystems. Traditional barriers to communication between marine ecologists, fisheries biologists, social scientists and economists are beginning to break down, and the distinction between applied and basic research is fading. These ongoing trends arise, in part, from an increasing awareness of the profound influence of people on the functioning of all marine ecosystems, an increased focus on spatial and temporal scale, and a renewed assessment of the role of biodiversity in the sustainability of ecosystem goods and services upon which human societies depend. Here, we highlight the emergence of a complex systems approach for sustaining and repairing marine ecosystems, linking ecological resilience to governance structures, economics and society.
来自不同学科的资源管理者和科学家正在迎接理解和减轻人类对海洋生态系统影响这一挑战。海洋生态学家、渔业生物学家、社会科学家和经济学家之间传统的沟通障碍正开始瓦解，应用研究和基础研究之间的区别也在逐渐消失。这些持续的趋势部分源于人们日益认识到人类对所有海洋生态系统功能的深远影响、对时空尺度的更多关注，以及对生物多样性在人类社会所依赖的生态系统产品和服务可持续性方面作用的重新评估。在此，我们强调一种用于维持和修复海洋生态系统的复杂系统方法的出现，这种方法将生态恢复力与治理结构、经济和社会联系起来。
