Main Conclusions


  • The level of fishing effort in the littoral zone exceeds all earlier estimates

  • Overfishing is the greatest threat to Biodiversity rather than single specific gears or practices

  • Conservation of pelagic fisheries is the key to protection of Biodiversity in littoral zones

  • For various reasons, authorities are not able to enforce regulations and control fishing activities (gears, zones, seasons, effort)
