Global marine biodiversity in the context of achieving the Aichi Targets: ways forward and addressing data gaps
- In 2010, the Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity agreedon the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011–2020 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. As this planapproaches its end, we discussed whether marine biodiversity and prediction studieswere nearing the Aichi Targets during the 4th World Conference on Marine Biodiversityheld in Montreal, Canada in June 2018. This article summarises the outcome of a five-day group discussion on how global marine biodiversity studies should be focusedfurther to better understand the patterns of biodiversity. We discussed and reviewedseven fundamental biodiversity priorities related to nine Aichi Targets focusing onglobal biodiversity discovery and predictions to improve and enhance biodiversitydata standards (quantity and quality), tools and techniques, spatial and temporal scaleframing, and stewardship and dissemination. We discuss how identifying biodiversityknowledge gaps and promoting efforts have and will reduce such gaps, including via theuse of new databases, tools and technology, and how these resources could be improvedin the future. The group recognised significant progress toward Target 19 in relationto scientific knowledge, but negligible progress with regard to Targets 6 to 13 whichaimed to safeguard and reduce human impacts on biodiversity.
