The original version of this Article omitted the following from the Acknowledgements: “This research is adapted from a Blue Paper commissioned by the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy entitled “The ocean transition: What to learn from system transitions” [https://www.oceanpanel.org/blue-papers/ocean-transition-what-learn-system-transitions].” This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
