CHUTE

The industrial zone Fos-sur-Mer is located near Marseille, France. Around 200 factories are clustered on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea and next to the nature reserve Camargue. The direct location by the sea attracted heavy industry. Specially steel, chemical and oil industries are concentrated here. In addition to the versatile jobs offered by the industrial cluster, the region is generally popular as a holiday and excursion destination because of its unique landscape and biodiversity. But the area is increasingly suffering from the industry. People, plants, animals, soil and water are affected by massive environmental pollution. The interaction of nature and industry appears like an underworld.
