Why <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean Sea?????<br />
• Increas<strong>in</strong>g human activities, such as urbanization <strong>in</strong> coastal areas, areas,<br />
tourism, agriculture, maritime traffic, <strong>in</strong>dustry, fisheries,<br />
aquaculture, river damm<strong>in</strong>g etc, exert considerable pressure on<br />
coastal and mar<strong>in</strong>e environment.<br />
• <strong>The</strong>refore, changes <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean are due both to natural and<br />
anthropogenic factors.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> role of <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean as a Laboratory test Bas<strong>in</strong> for<br />
study<strong>in</strong>g Global Processes “(e.g. (e.g. multi-scale multi scale circulation, <strong>the</strong><br />
existence of closed <strong><strong>the</strong>rmohal<strong>in</strong>e</strong> cells, “Conveyor Conveyor Belt”, Belt , deep water<br />
formation processes etc), has been clearly revealed. <strong>The</strong>refore, as<br />
both a “m<strong>in</strong>iature m<strong>in</strong>iature” ocean and a “regional regional” sea, <strong>the</strong><br />
Mediterranean has been shown to record both global and<br />
regional changes, and as such, is considered an important test<br />
bas<strong>in</strong> for study<strong>in</strong>g multi-scale multi scale <strong>variability</strong>.<br />
