Extended Data Fig. 5: Prioritised climate-smart networks in the high seas for the base scenario.

Prioritised networks for a base scenario (that is, no cost) for the high seas at three pelagic depth domains and the seafloor, under three IPCC Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5). For each map, green hexagons represent selected planning units while light blue hexagons represent non-selected planning units. Polygons in each map represent Longhurst provinces for the epipelagic domain (a, b, c), Glasgow provinces for the mesopelagic (d, e, f) and bathyabyssopelagic (g, h, i) domains, and the GOODS provinces for seafloor domain (j, k, l).
