This widespread population growth has been accompanied by an increase in the standard of living leading to an equal increase in industrial development to satisfy the needs of the population. However, in spite of the importance of pollution loads originating directly from human agglomerations in coastal areas, they appeared to be of minor importance when compared to other forms of pollution originating inland and discharged into the sea by various means. Discharges from “inland” municipal, industrial and agricultural districts, which are only partially treated or even in untreated form, are still reaching the sea through the hydro- graphic river network of the Mediterranean Basin. The countries of the Mediterranean signed and adopted the Convention for the Protection of the Mediterranean Sea against Pollution in February 1976.
