This is because species assessments are often incomplete. -This goal assessess the condition of marine habitats that are particularly important in supporting large numbers of marine species. The status of each habitat is its current condition relative to its reference condition, which is often based on historical area.

The status of each habitat is its current condition relative to its reference condition, which is often based on historical area. A score of 1 indicates that the condition equals or exceeds the reference point. The subgoal score is then calculated by combining the habitat scores for each region. For the global OHI assessment, we included mangroves, coral reefs, seagrass beds, salt marshes, sea ice, or subtidal soft-bottom habitats. All habitats measured contribute equally to the score, regardless of their extent, because the presence of a diverse set of habitats, as well as the level of conservation of each, is considered valuable to achieve this goal. diff --git a/content/goals/biodiversity/species.md b/content/goals/biodiversity/species.md index b1ad38cfb..d11128683 100644 --- a/content/goals/biodiversity/species.md +++ b/content/goals/biodiversity/species.md @@ -31,6 +31,6 @@ Explore the full description of the data and model used in the Global OHI MODEL. ### OTHER RESOURCES INTERNATIONAL UNION OF CONSERVATION OF NATURE (IUCN) -The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation statsu and distribution infomration on plants and animals in order to determine the relative risk of extinction. +The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species provides taxonomic, conservation status and distribution information on plants and animals in order to determine the relative risk of extinction.
