Ecosystems provide a series of services for human well-being (ecosystem services) either directly (as food and fibre) or indirectly by providing clean air and water. Biodiversity plays a key role in the functioning of ecosystems and their ability to provide ecosystem services. The value of biodiversity and benefits from ecosystem services reach far beyond that which can be measured in financial terms. </span></p><p style='box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(5, 5, 5); font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;PingFang SC&quot;, &quot;Microsoft YaHei&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:13px;'><br /></p><p style='box-sizing:border-box; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding:0px; color:rgb(5, 5, 5); font-family:&quot;Avenir Next&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;PingFang SC&quot;, &quot;Microsoft YaHei&quot;, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:13px;'><span style='box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size:18px;'>Evidence from monitoring of natural habitats and species in Ireland’s marine environment indicates that many habitats are not in good condition.

爱尔兰海域孕育着丰富多样的物种与栖息生境，其中涵盖重要的鱼类产卵场及育苗区域。生态系统可为人类福祉提供一系列服务（生态系统服务，ecosystem services），既能够直接提供食物与纤维原料，也可通过净化空气与水体实现间接支持。生物多样性在生态系统的运行功能及其提供生态系统服务的能力中扮演着关键角色。生物多样性的价值以及生态系统服务所带来的收益，远超可通过金融维度量化的范畴。针对爱尔兰海洋环境中的自然栖息生境与物种开展监测所得到的证据显示，诸多栖息生境的现状并未达到良好状态。保护并改善海洋栖息生境与生态系统的状况，是所有海洋利用者共同面临的一项挑战。
