The majority of beaches and harbors, at least in the westernpart of the Mediterranean, is mo<strong>de</strong>rat<strong>el</strong>y or sever<strong>el</strong>ypolluted. In some parts fishing nets could no longer be usedas they had become complet<strong>el</strong>y covered with tar.Large quantities of tar-like oil residues have been founddrifting on the surface of nearly all Mediterranean regions,particularly in the middle of the Gulf of Sidra, where their<strong>de</strong>nsity has been measured to reach 0.5 ml per square meter.Cyprus: Oil pollution is becoming a major littoralproblem. All beaches are more or less polluted, thoughsome parts of the coast are particularly affected due toprevailing winds and current patterns along the coast.France: No large tanker acci<strong>de</strong>nt has happened sofar, but numerous acci<strong>de</strong>nts of local importance contributedto the oil pollution along the coast.
