Marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning have changed and are continuing to change in marine ecosystems across the world. These changes are driven by human interactions with the environment and ecosystems, as well as by natural environmental change, both locally (at the ecosystem level) and globally. This paper draws on published research, in particular that using ecosystem indicators to identify, assess and compare changes in biodiversity of exploited marine ecosystems across the globe. We use our results to reflect on the sustainability of our changing exploited marine ecosystems and consider ways forward to incorporate this information in decision making processes.

海洋生物多样性和生态系统功能已发生变化，并且正在全世界范围内不断变化。这些变化是由人类与环境和生态系统的相互作用以及自然的环境变化所驱动的，无论是在本地（在生态系统一级）还是在全球范围内。本文利用已发表的研究成果，特别是利用生态系统指标来识别，评估和比较全球被开发海洋生态系统生物多样性的变化。我们用我们的结果来反思不断变化的海洋生态系统的可持续发展，并考虑将这些信息纳入决策过程的方法。
