Title
Concrete Coasts
Synopsis
150 million people live within 20 kilometres of the shores of the Mediterranean but each summer that population almost doubles as swarms of tourists from Northern Europe, occupy millions of hotel rooms. It’s a cruel irony, because what they come to enjoy is being destroyed. In just a few decades, a ring of high rise apartments and hotels extending from Southern Spain to the heel of Italy is annihilating nature and the vestiges of ancient civilisations.After more than a quarter of a century of international treaties and plans to save the Med, the battle is on to stop the last pieces of untouched coastline, being covered in concrete.
