The marine environment represents high interests at stake for the socio –economical development. Human activities linked to the sea have taken a prominent place, particularly for the coastal collectivities; however it highly depends on the health and productivity of the marine environment. Human beings, by investing more and more the marine space, contribute to the system imbalance. The anthropogenic pressures, namely, coastal infrastructures, pollution and direct exploitation, menace the biological resources and the marine biodiversity. |
