Abstract

This special Issue, dealing with mapping continental shelf and deeper connected benthic habitats, comprises nine papers. These articles can be broadly categorized into three themes: (1) Industrial, mining, and fishing impacts, (2) Evaluation of past and potential oils spills, and (3) Ubiquitous marine plastic pollution. Various approaches, including but not limited to, multibeam echosounder (MBES) surveys, side-scan sonar mosaics, seismic reflection profiles, sediment analyses, underwater videos and photos, and extensive literature searches were utilized in these studies that resulted in new insights in all three themes. Here we summarize the major findings that aim, in wider context, to improve our knowledge of anthropogenic impacts on marine benthic habitats. The contributions to this special issue will be of interest to broad readership of marine earth and biological scientists, as well as to other marine scientists, policy makers, and marine managers.

测绘人类活动对海洋底栖生物习性的影响

本期特刊涉及绘制大陆架和更深层次的底栖生物栖息地，包括九篇论文。这些文章大致可以分为三个主题:(1)工业、采矿和渔业的影响;(2)过去和潜在石油泄漏的评估;(3)无处不在的海洋塑料污染。各种方法，包括但不限于，多波束回声测深仪(MBES)调查，侧面扫描声纳马赛克，地震反射剖面，沉积物分析，水下视频和照片，以及广泛的文献检索，在这些研究中产生了对这三个主题的新见解。在这里，我们总结了主要的发现，目的是在更广泛的背景下，提高我们对海洋底栖生物栖息地的人为影响的认识。对本期特刊的贡献将会引起广大读者的兴趣，包括海洋地球和生物科学家，以及其他海洋科学家、决策者和海洋管理者。

期刊介绍： Continental Shelf Research publishes articles dealing with the biological, chemical, geological and physical oceanography of the shallow marine environment, from coastal and estuarine waters out to the shelf break. The continental shelf is a critical environment within the land-ocean continuum, and many processes, functions and problems in the continental shelf are driven by terrestrial inputs transported through the rivers and estuaries to the coastal and continental shelf areas. Manuscripts that deal with these topics must make a clear link to the continental shelf. Examples of research areas include: Physical sedimentology and geomorphology Geochemistry of the coastal ocean (inorganic and organic) Marine environment and anthropogenic effects Interaction of physical dynamics with natural and manmade shoreline features Benthic, phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology Coastal water and sediment quality, and ecosystem health Benthic-pelagic coupling (physical and biogeochemical) Interactions between physical dynamics (waves, currents, mixing, etc.) and biogeochemical cycles Estuarine, coastal and shelf sea modelling and process studies.
