                              1. Air pollution- industry + transport
                                1. Increased urbanisation as popu. increases
                                  1. Threat of desertification as more underground water used
                                    1. Water shortages= increase in demand + climate change
                                      1. Over-fishing= European Environment Agency- 65% of fish stocks in region outside safe biological limits

                                                1. Reduce building development along coast + introduce protected 'green areas' inbetween
                                                  1. Develop inland tourism -> relieve pressure on coast
