NEW INSIGHTS INTO PRESSURE EXERTED ON MARINE ECOSYSTEMS IN THE MED

In collaboration with Plan Bleu, MED POL and SPA/RAC, REMPEC prepared a Study on trends and outlook of marine pollution from ships and activities and of maritime traffic and offshore activities in the Mediterranean. The study compiles the best available knowledge on four aspects: pollution from oil and chemicals, marine litter, air pollution, non-indigenous species and underwater noise. A technical report on maritime traffic outlook for the next five, ten and thirty years (2025, 2030, 2050) has been integrated in a revised version of the Study, which is expected to be published in the second half of 2021.
