Expert knowledge can help fill gaps in quantitative empirical information about complex ecological phenomena. We examined the level of agreement between 21 studies that collected expert ratings sensitivity species and habitats to human activities their pressures as input data for mapping impact on marine ecosystems. Our analyses revealed broad which many are sensitive to. These agreements reflect a common view main threats ocean In contrast, scores provided by individual experts varied both within across studies. Sensitivity with same method different regions were often more similar than region but methods. results highlight how inconsistencies design surveys lead variable outcomes. It is important employ consistent theoretically grounded methods protocols when eliciting species' pressures, ensure compatibility maintain rigour supporting effective management.
