THE MEDITERRANEAN IS NOT DEAD

The sea repairmen

Synopsis

"If we do nothing, in 20 years, the Mediterranean will be a dead sea". This sentence by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, from 1979, remains relevant today, and as is often the case, there is both good and bad news.

The good news is that measures have been taken to ensure the Mediterranean does not die. The bad news is that more than 40 years have passed, and the newspapers are still headlining the same sentence.

But what is the reality? Is the battle lost in advance? What measures have been put in place?
