id economic growth.

Findings further revealed that the future condition of each sea was closely associated with the economic options that will be pursued in Europe, the transport of goods to and from other parts of the world and the European regulatory framework.

Changing economies and a more mobile labour force was likely to affect fisheries, though success or failure was currently clearly tied to the total allowable catch set through the Common Fisheries Policy, Prof. Mee said.

As such, unless European countries took urgent action to prevent further damage from current and emerging patterns of development, the continents local seas might face permanent damage, he said.

In every sea, we found serious damage related to the accelerated pace of coastal development, the way we transport our goods and the way we produce our food on land as well as the sea. Without a concerted effort, to integrate protection of the sea into Europes development plans, its biodiversity and resources will be lost, said Prof. Mee.

Europeans are just beginning to wake up to the fact that the area of their seas is bigger than the land and that it is already seriously degraded, he said.
