Area Marina Protetta
Area Marina Protetta is a protected marine zone off the coast of Crotone where sea turtles nest and many sea creatures live. The area contains shallow waters and rocky sections that are suitable for snorkeling and scuba diving.
The protected zone was established to preserve the fragile marine environment and the nesting sea turtles. Over time, efforts have been made to improve access and increase understanding of why this protection matters.
The protected marine zone shows the local community's strong bond with the sea and its resources. Schools and organized groups use this area to teach and celebrate the importance of ocean conservation.
The area is easy to reach from town and has information signs and lookout points along the coast. Visitors should respect wildlife, take their trash with them, and follow rules for boats to help protect the environment.
Small holes in the sand mark the nesting spots of sea turtles, especially the Caretta caretta species, which regularly lay eggs here. This natural nesting activity makes the zone a special place to watch these rare animals in their natural habitat.
