Scientists call for new stewardship of the deep ocean: Earth’s last frontier

Humans are encroaching more vigorously into the ocean’s deep regions, exploiting its resources and putting its habitats and natural services at risk. Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego believes a new «stewardship mentality» across disciplines is required for the future health and integrity of the deep ocean. Levin and several other experts will describe this need Feb. 16 during a news briefing and symposium at the AAAS meeting in Chicago.
