The Mediterranean Sea is the sea with the largest waste pollution in Europe. During a study of the sea area with the help of a high-tech submarine, researchers have now brought a shocking find.
At the lowest point of the Mediterranean Sea, in the Calypso deep, the scientists found a total of 167 objects. The majority of it was waste made from plastic, glass, metal and paper. According to the online specialized magazine “Marine Polletin Bulletin”, this is the highest pollution to such a depth.
Study -authors: “Garbage -S bags specifically divested from boats”
According to the participating research group in the Ionian Sea, the exact location is about 65 kilometers southwest of the Greek island of Ihaka. One of the marine researchers said about the find: “We have also found evidence that bags full of waste are removed from boats, as the waste stack proves.”
“The Deep -Se region is still largely unknown to the general public, making it difficult to raise society and politics for the protection of these areas,” hopes Miguel Canals of the University of Barcelona with the publication of the dramatic images for a greater consciousness of consciousness. As a result, this should contribute to strengthening international agreements against plastic waste.
