Marine exposure due to port activity
The dispersal of port-derived pollution was modeled as a diffusive plume based on their activity level using Eurostat data on transport of goods (thousand tonnes) and passengers... -
Marine exposure due to port activity: Ferry transport (thousand passengers)
The map shows the distribution of main ferry ports in the Mediterranean Sea. Pressure on marine regions are represented by the port influence area, based also on their activity...
