The Mediterranean Sea covers less than 1% of the global ocean, yet it is one of the planet’s greatest sources of marine and coastal biodiversity.

More than half a billion people live in the 21 countries that make up the Mediterranean region, which is home to more than 10,000 plant and animal species—nearly 30% of which are found nowhere else in the world.

Like the rest of the ocean, the Mediterranean Sea faces a host of dire threats, including overfishing, plastic pollution, climate change, ocean acidification, and marine debris. On top of these marine ecosystem pressures, the Mediterranean Sea is already warming 20% faster than the global ocean average due to climate change.
