The subject of this thesis, is the Mediterranean Sea. We examine in detail its geographical characteristics, as well as the political, financial and social changes of the Mediterranean countries from the 19th century onwards. In addition we
focus on the characteristics that make this sea so unique and the main factors responsible for polluting this sensitive ecosystem, thus disturbing the balance of both its coastal and deep sea ecosystems. Factors such as, shipping, agriculture
and fishing, are closely analysed and their impact presented. Last but not least we propose ways in which the Mediterranean Sea can be efficiently monitored and studied.
