Abstract
The article discusses the main problem of the Mediterranean environmental pollution as the result of the coastal areas work activities, of the sea milieu itself and of the sea bottom.
The essential measures for rehabilitation and improvement of the state of the seas are listed in the text - according to the common agreements of all the Mediterranean area countries the measures are being undertaken and some others are being expected from the Mediterranean Activities Plan of the UN Environment Protection Program (MAP/UNEP).
If the need for urgent sea protection actions, as well as the differences of the development of the countries are considered, further strengthening of the cooperation in the Mediterranean region does appear necessary.
