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 impact of this cohabitation, it is carefully monitored for chemical contamination, spearheaded by the Agence de l'eau Rhône Méditerranée Corse and Ifremer for the French coastline.
At a press conference on 9 July 2021The 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, a senior lecturer at AMU assigned to the MIO, was present.
Ifremer and the Rhône Méditerranée Corse Water Agency will be sharpening their monitoring strategy by developing innovative tools to improve efficiency!
