The Mediterranean basin is notoriously contaminated by products and residues from human activity. These contaminants are concentrated in continental waters (rivers, groundwater,...) which transport them to the sea. Until today, the study of water contamination was frequently approached in a fragmented way, either by study medium (surface or sub-surface water, ocean,...), or by specialties (biologists, ecologists, epidemiologists,...).
