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)
