Facts About Mediterranean Sea!

✓ The Mediterranean Sea is bordered by 21 countries.

✓ The Mediterranean diet - rich in olive oil, fresh vegetables, herbs, and fish - is praised by doctors as one of the best ways to stay healthy.

✓ Due to climate change and lower rainfall, the sea's water levels and biodiversity are declining.

✓ The word "Mediterranean" comes from Latin - medius (middle) and terra (land) - because it lies between three continents : Europe, Asia, and Africa.
