Description:
Halpern et al. (Reports, 15 February 2008, p. 948) integrated spatial data on 17 drivers of change in the oceans to map the global distribution of human impact. Although fishery catches are a dominant driver, the data reflect activity while impacts occur at different space and time scales. Failure to account for this spatial disconnection could lead to potentially misleading conclusions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Heath, Michael R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Sep 12;321(5895):1446; author reply 1446. doi: 10.1126/science.1157390.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Fisheries Research Services, Marine Laboratory, 375 Victoria Road, Aberdeen AB11 9DB, UK. heathmr@marlab.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18787153" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
