Given the number of countries surrounding it and emptying into it, and the fact that the only water entering it has to push through the Straits of Gibraltar, surely the Med must be amongst the most polluted places on Earth.
What say you?

I live right on the edge of the mediterranean and it is so clear and clean and blue... it's unbelievable...it's as clear as gin. Where are you from ? What is your evidence?

It has a strange self cleaning system'
At each tide the same amount goes out as that coming in, and both go through the Straits at the same time, one on top of the other.
Whatever this daily volume may be, it seems to be enough to keep the whole from getting polluted..

A sea is a smaller branch of open water, and linked to an ocean. length is critical, Oceans ARE larger than seas, ( smallest ocean Arctic 5,427,000 squaremiles, greatest sea Mediterranean a million,a hundred and forty four,800 squaremi). yet a sea is almost enclosed and separated from the extra suitable ocean by potential of land.

Well, it is a processing plant, much like any sea.
Venice's canals on other hand, one of their functions are as sewer. It's confusing on why people think taking a gondola ride in a sewer is romantic.

Perhaps those countries around it have taken up the mantle of a clean sea
