The environmental state of the Mediterranean Sea region will not improve until there is the political will to enforce current and future environment legislation, according to a new report issued by the European Environment Agency (EEA).
Priority issues in the Mediterranean Environment, a joint report by the EEA and the UNEP Mediterranean Action Plan (MAP), was launched at a meeting of the contracting parties of the Barcelona Convention which is taking place in Portoroz, Slovenia.
The report, which scans existing and emerging pollution issues, draws a picture at regional level but also provides a profile for each Mediterranean country.
As well as pollution from land-based activities and shipping, the report covers emerging threats to the region
