Start year 2011 End year 2014 Funding (€) € 3,909,331 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/266473 Summary Sampling performed during ULIXES Project allowed to have an accurate mapping of chemical, physical and microbiological characteristic of different sediments and seawater present of the interior basin of the Mediterranean Sea. Data obtained evidence as anthropogenic activity (in different form e.g. accidents, oil spill...) is the predominant causes of pollution of marine environment. In the same time the accurate sampling activity the collection of environmental unique sediments and seawater samples.
