Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

The world is facing a double crisis of climate change and biodiversity erosion. Global environmental changes have sparked an unprecedented and ongoing loss of biodiversity. To minimize this alarming trend, a deeper understanding of biodiversity is essential for effective conservation and management strategies. However, major taxonomic knowledge gaps remain, particularly in remote and understudied regions such as the Southern Ocean. Without knowledge on the marine biota living within these ecosystems, it becomes challenging to assess the success of existing marine protected areas or to design new ones that can address both current and future threats. This paper aims to highlight the critical role of taxonomy and species identification in biodiversity research and for the implementation of effective conservation and protection measures for vulnerable and sensitive ecosystems. We address key challenges of the taxonomy field and provide recommendations to improve the characterization of marine diversity in poorly known and unexplored environments.
