Our Blue Backyard: Will ecosystems hit tipping point?
Description: Tipping points represent a rapid transformation that occurs when an ecosystem loses its resilience, or its capacity to cope with change. This could mean a change in some valuable resource - fish or biodiversity - or a change in the way the ecosystem supports our wider values for our coasts and oceans, or what we call "ecosystem services". Tipping points occur because the connections between components of the ecosystem change. [Source: New Zealand Herald]
