摘要：As stated in the Editors' Preface, this report comes as a response to UNEP's call for indicators that will either measure or give inference on the impact of climate change on marine resources of Regional Seas. The contributions included in this report demonstrate that such indicators can be largely extracted from the various components of the Sea Around Us projects database, which contains data on fish and fisheries, ranging from the ecological to the economic and social. More data for the computation of these indicators were obtained from global information systems such as FishBase and SeaLifeBase for biological indicators and atmospheric and oceanographic databases for environmental indicators. The accessibility of the data required for the extraction of these indicators (as most are readily available online) will facilitate global assessments not only for UNEP's Regional Seas, but also for the United Nations Conference of the Parties member countries' EEZs, thereby making it possible to 'repatriate' data and results. Furthermore, the continued emphasis on this body of work by the Sea Around Us project and its partners ensures that these indicators can be extracted and updated for future assessments as the existing routines are improved, new routines are developed and more current data are encoded into the various databases used.
