The Marine Protected Area of Cinque Terre: important initiatives
Deterrents against trawling in the AMP Cinque Terre
L’Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area was established by the decree of the Ministry of Environment 12 December 1997 and includes the towns of Riomaggiore, Vernazza, Monterosso and Levanto for a small portion.
The implementing decree, and the specification of the AMP prohibit bottom trawling in the waters of the reserve, considering carefully-- the high environmental impact of this kind of fishing that is practiced pulling, by long steel cables, nets weighted with chains that literally plow bottom. In this way, these tools levy, in addition to fish species, also benthic components , algae, larvae and eggs, causing significant damage to the marine.
Despite checks on compliance with the provisions of trawling is conducted with unquestionable professionalism by security staff ( especially in the person of Comm. Bassi Andrea) in synergy with the local Harbour of La Spezia, not infrequently some “fishermen” have intruded into the waters with their boats prohibited. The difficulty lies in controlling the type of fishing: craft making real “flash” within the prohibited waters by towing the net for a limited time and away immediately after, not allowing time to catch them red-handed controllers (as better explained in the video).
The project “M.A.R.E” – Antistrascico measures for the sustainable ripoli -funded by the Ministry for the Environment and the Sea, is a collaborative effort between the Cinque Terre Marine Protected Area Reef Consulting and society and provides for the sinking of concrete blocks “sea friendly” which are inserted in the heavy steel hooks. The presence of these blocks on the seabed is an effective deterrent against illegal fishing as,if “incoccio” one of them, the network would be irreparably damaged with substantial economic damage to the operator.

The path is disabled sub refurbishes
The fascinating journey submerged in the waters of Monterosso, pulls, polished to host the first meeting of sub blind, arriving at the end of August.
The path, made for the disabled from the Cinque Terre Marine Protected, was subjected to a new maintenance.
The rich and fascinating underwater path, circularly extending for two hundred meters to the bottom front of the promontory of Punta Crowns, has been completely upgraded and monitored, to replace the reference mark and the top of the old, colonized by marine organisms that made it difficult to manually sliding.
"The reference cable, along which the diver moves down well at a depth of 12 m, must be regularly replaced almost every year, because it is colonized by organisms encrusted or better-marini. explains Dario Ferrari, Diving Punta Mesco of sub-.
The area offers various types of diving depth ranging from rocky to sandy, showing many species of animals and plants.
In fact, you can admire the precious seagrass Posidonia Oceanica and Pinna Nobilis, but grouper, lobsters and moray eels.
With the birth of the Park, the past ten years, there was a rapid and remarkable recovery of the species disappeared ".
