Red Mud

From 1967 to 2015, ALTEO-Rio dumped more than 30 million tons of toxic red mud into the Mediterranean sea.. INTERPRT produced an evidence file for the ecocide moot court organized by Wild Legal that took place on 26 June, 2021. It was set to challenge existing environment protection laws and whether these actions could constitute a major case of ecocide in French law. Our visual investigation focused on the Cassidaigne canyon in the Calanques National Park, where the red mud is discharged at a depth of 324 meters, covering a 900 square km wide area on the seabed. We synthesized publicly available environmental data into a seamless 3D model of the canyon and a multimedia presentation.
