Mediterranean Prospect, The

• 1980 ----- color ----- 55 min ----- vhs
• (Nova series) Every year, millions of tourists converge on the Mediterranean's sunny coasts, lured by the prospect of bathing in clear, azure waters and basking in semi-tropical sun. But years of use and abuse have taken their toll on the once-idyllic Mediterranean, and the "world's biggest swimming pool" has become the world's biggest open sewer. NOVA explores the complex problems that jeopardize the Mediterranean's future--not only the damage caused by the discharge of human wastes into the sea, but also the deadly effects of chemicals spewed from the region's growing number of industrial plants.
