In a world-first, the extent of human development in oceans has been mapped. An area totalling approximately 30,000 square kilometres\u2014the equivalent of 0.008 percent of the ocean\u2014has been modified by human construction.<\/p>\n

The extent of ocean<\/a>modified by human construction is, proportion-wise, comparable to the extent of urbanised land, and greater than the global area of some natural marine habitats, such as mangrove forests<\/a> and seagrass beds<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
