identified hotspots for large ocean predators, e.g. sharks

found that ocean hotspots:

• were not always rich in

  food/foods
  

• had higher temperatures at the

• had sufficient

looked for hotspots for marine 

found these were all located where ocean currents meet

found new ocean species living:

• under the

  ice
  

• near volcanoes on the ocean floor

want to list endangered ocean species, considering:

• population size

• geographical distribution

• rate of

Aim: to assess 20,000 species and make a distribution

increase the number of ocean reserves
