Area marina protetta Regno di Nettuno
Area marina protetta Regno di Nettuno, Marine protected area in Gulf of Naples, Italy
The Regno di Nettuno marine protected area spans 11,256 hectares of sea surface around the islands of Ischia, Procida, and Vivara in the Gulf of Naples.
In 1991, the islands received designation as potential protected areas under Law 394, leading to the official establishment of the marine reserve in December 2007.
Scientific institutions and universities conduct research programs within the area, focusing on marine biology, ecology, and underwater archaeological investigations.
The protected area implements a specific zoning system with five different levels of protection, from integral reserves to areas dedicated to marine mammal conservation.
The northward extension of the protected area includes the Cuma Canyon region, which contains multiple species of cetaceans in its waters.
