Scuba Day: Miramare WWF Reserve

Head off with us for a day of diving in beautiful Miramare! This location is the first marine nature reserve created in Italy (1973) following the collaboration between WWF and the Ministry of Merchant Marine first and with the Ministry of the Environment and Territory later.

This area conserves a rich underwater environment and represents a management example for marine protected areas. Among the many marine habitats particular importance is played by the area between the low and high tide limits; this is a very hostile habitat that can be colonized only by marine organisms that have adapted to survive out of water for short periods of time. The rocky promontory is home to a rich biodiversity of marine organisms; here the rocks are important anchoring sites for many algae and marine invertebrates. It also provides the necessary substrate for egg deposition and a refuge for many species of fish.
