Potential fishing pressure along the Mediterranean Sea coast

Three variables were taken into account to produce this indicator: fishing effort, calculated by a classification of ports according to their fishing fleet tonnage, average vessel length overall and number of trawlers, using the DG MARE database on ports and fishing fleet; soft bottoms above 1.000 meters depth, and main resident endangered species of cetaceans, turtles, sharks and rays threatened by bycatch according to the IUCN Red List and reports. Maximun distance considered is 100 km.
