55. I thank Dr. J. Reichert, Environment Program Director, Pew Charitable Trusts, for the unwavering support and Nancy Baron of COMPASS, for putting us on the map. I am also extremely grateful to the Sea Around Us Project members, past and present: it is your competence and enthusiasm that made the work described here possible. Finally, I thank my scientific colleagues at the Fisheries Centre and elsewhere for the excellent scientific collaboration, my Master and PhD students for the challenges, and the many friends in NGOs for using our stuff and asking for more.
