Protection of Sea Level Rise in the Mediterranean: An Unconventional Solution (Proposed Idea)

The Mediterranean basin is one of the most prominent hotspots of climate and environmental changes. The most common and dangerous impact of climate change is the Sea level rising. Several countries are suffering from this risk disaster especially the countries of the Mediterranean basin. The need for an unconventional and sustainable solution has become necessary and urgent. The current idea is proposing to maintain the level of the Mediterranean by controlling the flowing waters, whether from the Atlantic Ocean or the Indian Ocean, by constructing two mega dams at the western and eastern outlet. The western dam is erected on Gibraltar, and the eastern dam is erected at the Gulf of Suez Many environmental, economic, and social objectives could be achieved. The solution will need a strategic environmental impact assessment study, besides other geological, hydrogeological, and engineering complementary activities. These activities should be preceded by construction.
