Recent pace of change in human impact on the world's ocean: Commercial fishing - demersal non-destructive low-bycatch

These are the stressor and impact data for commercial demersal nondestructive high bycatch fishing for the publication: 'Recent pace of change in human impact on the world's ocean' (Halpern et al. 2019).
This stressor describes tonnes of demersal fisheries catch using nondestructive, but high bycatch, gear types. Catch is standardized by Net Primary Productivity. We describe the stressor intensity of demersal nondestructive high bycatch fishing and the corresponding impact on 21 marine ecosystems over 11 years (2003-2013). To determine annual change in impact, we applied a linear regression model to each raster cell. Code used in analyzing these data is available as a zipped GitHub repository, impact_acceleration-1.0.zip, in this dataset's parent (CITATION HERE).

These data include the following: Raw stressor intensity rasters for 2003 to 2013. These rasters are created using scripts located in the 'stressors' folder of the 'impact_acceleration' Github repository. Rescaled stressor intensity rasters for 2003 to 2013. Raw stressor intensities are rescaled to values between 0 and 1, using either known or estimated ecosystem thresholds or upper quantile values from the distribution of global stressor intensity values across years. These rasters are created using scripts located in the 'stressors' folder of the 'impact_acceleration' Github repository. Impact rasters for 2003 to 2013 which describe the impact of the stressor based on the vulnerability of 21 marine ecosystems to the stressor. The impact of the stressor is estimated by multiplying the stressor's intensity by the corresponding ecosystem vulnerability where the ecosystem occurs. The average impact of each stressor, across all ecosystems, is estimated by summing the stressor-by-ecosystem vulnerability combinations and dividing by the number of ecosystems within each cell. These rasters are created using scripts located in the 'impacts' folder of the 'impact_acceleration' Github repository. A trend raster describing the average annual change in impact from 2003 to 2013. This raster is created using scripts located in the 'trend' folder of the 'impact_acceleration' Github repository. Files describing the cumulative impacts and additional stressors are provided in other KNB datasets.
