The Republic of Tunisia's 1,300-kilometer coastline is being threatened by pollution. The Ministry of Health publishes a list every year of beaches where swimming is prohibited due to water analyses indicating the significant levels of fecal matter in the sea. The Tunisia government’s laissez-faire policies offer no solution for industrial facilities to limit the pollutants they release into the environment. Residents continuously complain about the odor coming from the ocean and the visible streams of brownish water running from factories straight into the ocean.
