Life below the water

The Mediterranean Conservation Society’s local project monitors seagrass, macroalgae, fish communities and water temperature. When looking through a mask, observe differences in the seabed cover without disturbing plants or picking up wildlife.

Choosing a stop

Areas with different designations, including fishing closures, exist within the wider protected area. Ask the skipper about the day’s route and mooring arrangements, and check the rules for a particular activity at your stop.
