ROME, Italy The Mediterranean is turning into a tropical sea due to rising global temperatures, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) warned in a June report.
The WWF claims the Mediterranean is becoming “the fastest-warming and the saltiest sea on the planet,” a situation calling for “urgent action” to stem the warming process.
“The scenarios presented by experts on the future of the Mediterranean, which speak of accelerating temperature rises and the entry of numerous alien species, the Mare Nostrum is at risk of changing face very quickly with inevitable consequences for communities,” Donatella Bianchi, president of WWF Italy, said.
