文章講解：

①Our terrestrial food supply comes from ecosystems transformed to produce a few comestible species through the removal of competitors, predators, and pests,?but?marine capture fisheries depend on the overall productivity of natural ecosystems. ②There is,?however, increasing concern about the impact of fishing and other human activities on marine ecosystems, which are now far from pristine. ③One option for moving toward both biodiversity and terrestrial food supply goals is to produce greater yields from less land, thereby freeing land for conservation purposes. ④By contrast, the objective of maintaining or?restoring the biodiversity of marine ecosystems may conflict with the objective of maintaining or increasing our food supply from the sea, since?the level of fishing required to achieve the latter may compromise the former.
