Mediterranean coasts at threat:
Hazards and challenges in the context of climate variability

In addition, thanks to the results of the present investigation, the city council of
Favignana in 2013, moved the gas station from the harbour to a new and safer site
located in the central part of the Island in order to reduce traffic and potential risk of
contamination of marine sediment.
