Issue: Societal responses to direct pressures of human activities on coasts and oceans - Responses to pressures of harvesting non-living materials
This is an issue under the Coasts and oceans theme of the Data Reporting System.
Why we need to know about this issue
In order to know whether societal responses to environmental problems are proving effective, it is important to measure both reductions in impacts which follow human actions aimed at reducing pressures and, where there has been insufficient time for such actions to translate into environmental improvements, to measure the extent of implementation of responses which are intended to have these effects.
