Abstract

This study explored the global biodiversity trends in the world’s oceans and provides critical insights to inform marine conservation efforts. As marine biodiversity faces unprecedented threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat degradation, and pollution, understanding these trends is essential for effective conservation management. This research compiled and synthesized existing literature, highlighting key findings on species richness, distribution patterns, and the ecological impacts of biodiversity loss. The results demonstrated a significant decline in marine species, with varying responses to human-induced stressors across different ecosystems. Additionally, the study examined the role of marine protected areas (MPAs) as a conservation strategy, revealing their potential to enhance biodiversity recovery when effectively managed. The implications of these findings revealed the urgent need for integrated conservation approaches that prioritize ecosystem resilience and address the ongoing challenges posed by climate change. This research identified gaps in current knowledge and emphasized the necessity for future studies to enhance understanding and inform policy decisions aimed at marine biodiversity conservation. By compiling these trends, the study contributed to the ongoing dialogue around sustainable marine resource management and the critical need for global cooperation in safeguarding ocean biodiversity for future generations.
