This review presents the scientific objectives and status of Neutrino Telescope Projects under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. The science program of these projects covers: neutrino astronomy, dark matter searches and measurements of neutrino oscillations. The status of the two related water
The IceCube neutrino telescope, a huge neutrino telescope with 1 cubic km instrumented volume, starts construction in 2004. The project status and the expected sensitivity and performance for detecting high-energy cosmic neutrinos are reported. The capability of EHE neutrino detection is also briefl
With an effective telescope area of order 104 m 2 for TeV neutrinos, a threshold near ,,,50 GeV and a pointing accuracy of 2.5 degrees per muon track, the AMANDA detector represents the first of a new generation of high energy neutrino telescopes, reaching a scale envisaged over 25 years ago. We des
## Abstract The realβtime distribution of alert messages from satellites that detect gammaβray bursts are of key importance to neutrino telescopes.We describe how the distribution network of these alert messages is used by the ANTARES neutrino telescope, and the resulting increase in detection effi
