Description
In this project we will deal with the ecological problems of the Mediterranean Sea. The main problems are the perturb of equilibrium of ecosystems, the dramatically decreased fishery and aquatic reserves, marine accidents, pollution from agricultural residues of fertilizers and pesticides, industrial waste and municipal sewage. We’ll investigate the sea pollution from ship-generated waste, wrecks and oil spills.
Aims
The Mediterranean Sea represents 1% of the world's marine areas and contains 6% of all marine species. In the water live some of the most endangered species on the planet. Environmental problems pose the crucial question of a strategic environmental policy from the European Union and from each country particularly. As Mediterranean citizens we should be informed. We have to raise awareness and formulate ecological consciousness so as to become active citizens and take action by taking timely measures of sustainable protection at individual, local, national and transnational level.
