such as habitat loss (from urban development, habitat degradation, and habitat changes),
pollution, alien species, recreation, global climate change, and problems related to
organization and planning. The third part states goals needed for marine ecosystem
conservation, and discusses strategies for attaining those goals. The fourth part is
