Oasi blu di Gianola, Marine nature reserve in Formia, Italy.
The Oasi blu di Gianola extends over 5 hectares of protected waters along the Tyrrhenian Sea, featuring rocky seabeds that descend to 4 meters depth.
The World Wide Fund for Nature established this marine sanctuary in July 1988 as part of Italy's initiative to protect coastal ecosystems in the Lazio region.
The reserve functions as an educational center where researchers conduct studies on marine life conservation and ecological preservation methods for the Mediterranean waters.
September provides the most favorable conditions for diving activities, with clear visibility to observe the marine species inhabiting the protected waters.
The reserve contains an underwater spring and a dedicated turtle sanctuary, contributing to the protection of Mediterranean marine species.
