MEPA investigations Explainers, illustrative cases and concept notes on Mediterranean marine pollution, from the Mediterranean Environmental Protection Agency. https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/ 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z Mediterranean Environmental Protection Agencyhttps://www.mepa.ngo/ Concept note: if we had the data from a network like Starlink V3 https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/concept-note-starlink-v3/ 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z A theoretical look at what Starlink V3 is and is not, and what MEPA could do with data from such a network if it were ever shared. Illustrative case: Response and Recovery https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/case-study-response-and-recovery/ 2026-05-18T00:00:00Z 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z In this illustrative case, MEPA keeps watching after containment begins — tracking the response, shoreline and seagrass from orbit. Ghost Discharges https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/ghost-discharges/ 2026-05-16T00:00:00Z 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z When a ship switches off its transponder, the slick it leaves could still be traced — to the vessel, and to the companies behind it. Illustrative case: The Mediterranean Spill https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/case-study-the-mediterranean-spill/ 2026-05-14T00:00:00Z 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z From the first satellite flag to a referral authorities could act on: how an imagined Eastern Mediterranean spill would be detected, traced and documented. Silent Spillways https://www.mepa.ngo/investigations/silent-spillways/ 2025-07-20T00:00:00Z 2026-10-20T00:00:00Z Why small, repeated discharges go unseen — and how radar satellites, machine learning and analyst-reviewed alerts are designed to bring them to light.
