Online tool maps ocean benefits

摘要

The Nature Conservancy (TNC), based in Virginia, USA, reports the launch of the Atlas of Ocean Wealth, a first of its kind collection of maps and analysis of the ocean's benefit to people, the environment and the economy. From fish sold in a market or served in a family home, to the invisible influence of a seagrass meadow absorbing some of the world's excess carbon dioxide, the Atlas shows how our oceans protect us, feed us and provide us with jobs.
