Different cultures around the sea could meet and learn from each other that gave rise to philosophers and scientists. <br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udc49Facts<br \/>-The name, Mediterranean, comes from the Latin to mean \u2018in the middle of the land\u2019<br \/>-The sea is semi-enclosed, with only an opening to the Atlantic Ocean at The Strait of Gibraltar (it has a high salt level because of this)<br \/>-It is surrounded by 3 continents!<br \/>-This sea has the largest number of islands &amp; archipelagos in the world<br \/>-The region holds 10% of the world\u2019s biodiversity<br \/>-Between 20-30% of species are endemic &#8211; unique to this region<br \/>-Less than 1% of the Mediterranean is protected<\/p><h3><br \/>\ud83d\udc20Sea life<\/h3><p>-Home to more than 17,000 marine species<br \/>-Whales, dolphins, green turtles, monk seals, sharks, rays are some of the Mediterranean mammals<br \/>-The Posidonia meadows, kelp forests and bamboo coral are key plant species here. The Posidonia meadows are a habitat for more than 1,000 different sea creatures (and hundreds of plant species)<br \/>\ud83d\udea8But the sea is under threat with the increase of invasive species, overfishing, pollution, drought and dam construction. Its mammal population has fallen by over 40% in the last 50 years<\/p><h3>\ud83d\ude4cSea protection is under way<\/h3><p>-The Barcelona Convention was set-up to protect the Mediterranean Sea against pollution. Initially Implemented in 1976, amended in 1995 to include 7 protocols<br \/>-The WWF Mediterranean Marine Initiative (set up in 2011) coordinates conservation efforts in the area<br \/>-In Spain, the first 100m from the coastline is a protection zone, and a further 400m also has restrictions (Coastal Law of 1988)<br \/>-Cold-water coral protection in the western part of the Mediterranean (near Gibraltar) was committed to in 2023<br \/>-Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are growing &#8211; with 1000 partly protected MPAs (fully protected areas are growing less fast)<br \/>-To improve the protected areas and increase its reach, Pew Bertarelli Ocean Legacy (PBOL) Project was set up in 2022<br \/>-Numerous beach clean-up initiatives are on the go all around the Mediterranean\u2026<br \/><br \/>\ud83d\udca1Do you know why beaches are getting smaller?<br \/>Yes, rising sea-levels have an impact, but other things do too:<br \/>-Natural sand comes from rocks, mainly from rocks that are eroded by rivers. But river dams stop river sand from getting to the sea and beaches<br \/>-And, natural sand movement of sandy coastlines is interrupted through recreational development<br \/><br \/>I\u2019ll leave you to think about what sea life you\u2019ve seen while snorkelling in the Mediterranean\ud83d\udc20<br \/><br \/>Happy Friday!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I live in Montpellier, which is 15km from the beach and the Mediterranean Sea. \ud83c\udfd6\ufe0fThe beaches here are long and thin stretches of sand.
