<idAbs>Human pressures on the ocean are thought to be increasing globally, yet we know little about their patterns of cumulative change, which pressures are most responsible for change, and which places are experiencing the greatest increases. Managers and policymakers require such information to make strategic decisions and monitor progress towards management objectives. In these layers you will find recent change over 5 years in cumulative impacts (2009-2013) to marine ecosystems globally from fishing, climate change and ocean and land-based stressors (i.e. sea surface temperature anomalies, nutrient input, demersal destructive fishing, pelagic high bycatch fishing, etc). Nearly 66% of the ocean and 77% of national jurisdictions show increased human impact, driven mostly by climate change pressures. Five percent of the ocean is heavily impacted with increasing pressures, requiring management attention. Ten percent has very low impact with decreasing pressures. The results provide large-scale guidance about where to prioritize management efforts and affirm the importance of addressing climate change to maintain and improve the condition of marine ecosystems.</idAbs>
