By the beginning of the XXI century on the pollution of the oceans has learned so much that did not fit the cleanest sea in the world to search and clear sea at all.At the risk of not find it ever!Barbaric attitude to nature is clearly evident in the contrasting example.There are literally killing the Aral Sea in Eurasia in just a quarter of a century, around the same time, people "gave" a man-made world, "Continent" - Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which, according to some reports, the area is superior to Australia and New Zealand, togetherTaken ...
So is there the cleanest sea in the world?It depends on what is meant by "purity".Colorful brochures of travel agencies do not count - it is clear that not a word of truth, they will not say.All is learned, as always, the hard way.Some resort areas on the coast, perhaps, deserve the title of the cleanest.But the sea itself - far from it.
Black Sea because once the glory and pure water, and rich fisheries and species diversity.In XX century, because of the Soviet Union and Turkey is the blue sea in the world has become one of the most polluted in the world.The situation here does not improve also due to the slow water exchange.
In communicating with the Mediterranean Sea, it seems to be the case better: its waters every 70 years, updated the Atlantic Ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar.But over the past half-century sewage, industry and tourism boom that has spread even to remote islands protected before, turned the Mediterranean ecosystem in sick.Leaders of pollution are Spain, Italy and France.
If you continue the journey through the Suez Canal, then get into the Red Sea.The warm clear water stretches amazingly beautiful and diverse underwater world.It would seem, here it is, the cleanest sea in the world!Do not hurry.Egyptian Red Sea coast is densely overgrown piers at the hotels, which are moored boats and yachts.Here, the tourist gets the whole "civilized" set: divorces fuel, waste water from the shower and wash dishes, and often human waste water.All of this evaporates in the heat with the corresponding odor.Seasoned travelers are advised to choose a beach that is distant from the pier does not have a gentle slope and immediately goes deep.So far the Red Sea have the strength to self-clean.Yes, and a complete upgrade, thanks to the Gulf of Aden, there is "only" once in 15 years.
Necessarily believe that the cleanest sea in the world - the Dead, on the border of Israel and Jordan.In fact, its salinity reaches such an enormous size (300-350%) that it can not live any marine organisms except some bacteria and some fungi.This is reinforced by the absence of sterilization on the sun-baked earth of big industry.However, irrational human activities are even preparing an environmental catastrophe: the groundwater level declines began formation dips in the soil.
Perhaps today the cleanest sea in the world - the Weddell.You never heard of such?Still, after all there is not crowded beaches or luxury hotels.Most of the year it is covered with two-meter thick sea ice and drifting icebergs are numerous.The conditions for navigation are such that rare master of sound mind and memory dare to lay a course here.But German scientists in 1986 risked.And we found transparency local waters - 79 meters.Compare with the theoretical clarity of distilled water (80 meters), and draw conclusions.
second place in the ranking of "the cleanest sea in the world" probably takes the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean: its transparency reaches 60 meters.But, given the proximity of the United States and Canada, as well as major trans-Atlantic shipping lanes, it is very vulnerable.What eloquently confirmed by the presence of a large garbage patches of waste, mostly plastic.
Compared to these two parts of the oceans, no other sea on its purity is simply not tenable.It is hoped that in the XXI century, people finally will shape the planet on which he lives.
