The indicator for harvesting of marine resources shows a decreasing trend indicating a decline in catches over the years. The Index of upwelling shows a decrease in the strength of upwelling favourable winds. The number of top predators have decreased over the years as shown by the results due decreased number of fish ect. The percentage species composition from the 70s has decreased so much that some species are not included in the catch anymore. Mining activities and the development of coastal towns are on the increase. The information derived from the marine indicators communication will aid the Decision Makers and citizens with the management and planning processes of the country
