Press Conference : Monitoring the Coastline

Small in size - it occupies less than 1% of the world's maritime surface - the Mediterranean is subject to intense human activity.

To measure the impacts of this cohabitation, it is carefully monitored for chemical contamination, spearheaded by the Rhone-Mediterranean-Corsica Water Agency and Ifremer for the French coast.

During a press conference on July 9, 2021, the two partners, associated with Aix-Marseille University and the MIO, presented the results of 20 years of monitoring contaminants in the Mediterranean. Our colleague Daniela Banaru, AMU lecturer assigned to the MIO, was present.

Ifremer and the Rhone-Mediterranean-Corsica Water Agency will sharpen their monitoring strategy by developing innovative tools for increased efficiency !
