CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION‚ OBJECTIVES AND OUTLINE OF THE THESIS -49- -50- Abstract As marine environments are under increasing anthropogenic pressure‚ there is a need for decision support systems (DSSs) and management tools that allow to tackle some of the environmental problems associated with this pressure and to allocate the different uses in a sustainable way. Most marine management tools are built around the Driver-Pressure-StateImpact-Response (DPSIR) framework‚ where indicators
