TY - JOUR TI - Integrated Ecosystem Assessments: Developing the Scientific Basis for Ecosystem-Based Management of the Ocean AU - Levin, P AU - Fogarty, M AU - Murawski, S AU - Fluharty, D T2 - PLoS Biology AB - A series of prominent and controversial papers about the state of marine ecosystems has occupied the pages of high-profile journals over the last decade.
