Whales, waste and sea walnuts: incorporating human impacts on the marine ecosystem within life cycle impact assessment

The marine ecosystem covers around 70% of the planet. Today, every single part of this vast ecosystem is affected by at least one anthropogenic driver of change. This fact should cause us to pause and think: such a huge space, yet habitat and species loss are occurring at an unprecedented rate. T...
