Pros & Cons

3 Pros:
•    See the distribution of anthropogenic stressors faced by threatened marine species
•    There is not a single one reason in all regions
•    Many reasons can be mitigated by measures


3 Cons:
•    Underlying mechanisms are more complex
•    Needed is guidance for mitigation actions
•    Only 11% of marine species described, hence such results can be very inaccurate
