Total priority area was determined through the union of priority areas based on richness, range rarity, and proportional range rarity (Fig. 3A–C). Calculations for the United States do not include EEZ regions around Alaska or Hawaii, which are calculated separately. Table S3 has statistics for all EEZ areas and further statistics on priority areas by richness, endemism and proportional range rarity. Table S4 has statistics by FAO region for ABNJ priority areas.
