Abstract

Our oceans are plagued by overfishing and plastification. Without global solutions, the Anthropocene's unprecedented biodiversity loss will continue. To address these threats, I firstly document the human footprint on Western Australian pelagic
wildlife along 23° of latitude and, at the Perth Canyon, demonstrate temporal and spatial stability and the presence of a shortfin mako puppery, underscoring the call for no-take marine parks. Secondly, the "Revolutionising Ocean Measurement Project" harnesses automation and artificial intelligence for quantum acceleration in marine research. Thirdly, I set the groundwork for global market intervention, "Sea the Future", to keep plastics in the economy not the environment.
