Gibraltar dumping all of its raw sewage into Mediterranean
For decades, the British overseas territory of Gibraltar has pumped raw sewage from nearly 40,000 residents and businesses directly into the Mediterranean Sea, lacking a wastewater treatment plant despite past EU rulings against the UK (now unenforceable post-Brexit) and failed attempts to build one. In June 2025, Gibraltar awarded a 25-year contract to Eco Waters to construct a treatment plant at Europa Point; advanced design and geotechnical works are underway, and a planning application was submitted in March 2026, alongside a £15m investment to upgrade sewer infrastructure.
