Area marina protetta Isola dell'Asinara, Marine protected area in Porto Torres, Italy
The Asinara Marine Protected Area encompasses 10,732 hectares of sea surrounding the island with 79.64 kilometers of protected coastline.
The area received its protected status through an official decree in 2002, following conservation initiatives that began with a conference in Porto Torres in 1967.
The marine reserve contains three distinct protection zones, each maintaining different levels of preservation for marine life and geological formations.
Maritime transport services connect the protected area from Porto Torres and Stintino ports, with advance reservations required for guided tours and activities.
The western section features rocky seabeds with seasonal currents, while the eastern part contains sandy bottoms that gradually descend to substantial depths.
