The Mediterranean is the sixth largest accumulation zone for marine litter. It holds only 1% of the world’s waters but concentrates 7% of all global microplastics. This is why French scientists from the Exploration Bleue project have come off the coast of Toulon to study the impact of microplastic pollution in the Mediterranean Sea.
Their expeditions are led by the NGO Expédition 7ᵉ Continent’s 27-metre sailing vessel.
