海洋暮光区研究刻不容缓
Study the Twilight Zone before it is too late
海洋的暮光区是指海平面以下200米到1000米的区域，这里蕴藏着海洋中最大却被最少开发的鱼类资源，并对从大气中移除和储存二氧化碳起着重要的作用。每个夜晚，巨大数量的鱼类及浮游动物为了觅食都会通过这一区域向海面迁移，并在黎明前返回。尽管该区域十分重要，我们却在物理、生物地球化学和生态等方面对其知之甚少。由于很多现实的原因，暮光区是一个很难研究的区域，于是评论者们辩称沿海和近岸更值得研究，因为那里对环境和社会的影响更显著。遗憾的是，近海地区所受到的大范围的环境破坏往往是无法避免的，因此研究方面的努力和地方上的政策必须旨在减缓最严重的影响。相比之下，暮光区几乎是“原始的”，其大部分不在国家管辖范围内，出于共同的利益与责任，有必要达成全球协议对其进行管理。
该篇文章概述了充分了解这一复杂的全球性生态系统的必要步骤，以便为气候变化和潜在的未来开发的影响提供决策咨询。文章呼吁国际海洋研究界在即将到来的联合国海洋十年期间关注暮光区，抓住机会制定保护这一生态系统的全球政策。

The oceans’ twilight zone is the area just below 200m from the surface ocean down to 1000m. It plays a major role in removing and storing CO
2
from the atmosphere, and is home to the largest and least exploited ocean fish stocks. It is also the zone through which the massive migration of fish and zooplankton move towards the surface to feed each night, before retreating back down at dawn. Yet despite its importance, the zone is physically, biogeochemically and ecologically poorly understood. It is a difficult region to study for a variety of substantial reasons, leaving many critics to suggest that coastal and near-shelf waters are more deserving of study, because of the significant environmental impacts there, and their importance to societies. Unfortunately, widespread environmental damage to these inshore regions can often not be avoided, so research efforts and local policies must aim to mitigate the worst effects. By contrast, the twilight zone is almost pristine, and as much of it lies beyond national jurisdiction, it is of common interest and responsibility, and global agreement is necessary to manage it.
This paper outlines the steps needed to ensure that enough is known about this complex global ecosystem to inform decisions about the impacts of climate change and potential future exploitation. We call on the international marine research community to focus its attention on the twilight zone during the upcoming United Nations Decade of the Ocean, and to seize the opportunity to establish a global policy that will protect this vast ecosystem for present and future generations.

CAO Ling visits a salmon farm in Bergen, Norway.
The 2020 Pew Fellows in Marine Conservation were recently announced. CAO Ling from Shanghai Jiao Tong University has been named the recipient. She receives a three-year, $150,000 fellowship to address some of the key challenges facing Marine conservation.
CAO Ling is engaged in research on marine strategy and management. Her research interests include marine resource exploration and integrated ecological management, marine ecological protection and policy, sustainable fisheries (including aquaculture) development, food security and environmental impact assessment. Ling, as invited lecturer, has been quite involved with IMBeR capacity building activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Pew marine fellows program was created to seek solutions to the problems affecting the world’s oceans. It supports high-quality research that brings new data, analyses, and innovations to marine conservation. Following a rigorous nomination and review process, a committee of marine scientists and conservationists from around the world recommends fellows for the award based on the strengths of their proposed projects, including the potential to advance protection of ocean environments. Eight marine scientists and conservationists from Australia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Kenya, and the United States have been named the 2020 recipients of the Pew fellowship in marine conservation.
