The Ocean is more and more subject to pressures that arise out of human action, and in particular due to the fast-growing population in some regions of the planet. An important effect of this demographic pressure is the unsustainable fast consumption of living marine resources, which is preventing them from being renewed, whereby many species are already at serious risk of overexploitation, in particular, that resulting from illegal, unregulated or unreported fishing, or, at best, by poorly selected and inefficient practices. In many areas, primary activities such as farming, fishing and aquaculture are under pressure or in decline. These activities are, in particular, suffering from market competition, which is increasingly globalized, from the rise in input costs, be it fuel, feed or labour, and from unstable and often low selling prices. Jakobsen, Mortensen, Vikesland, and Cappelen (n.d.) mention that for Paul
Krugman the concern about competitiveness is turning into “a dangerous obsession.”
