Riserva naturale marina Isole Egadi, Marine protected area in Province of Trapani, Italy

The Egadi Islands Marine Reserve spans 53,992 hectares off Sicily's northwestern coast, encompassing the islands of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo.

The reserve area contains archaeological evidence of the naval battle between Romans and Carthaginians, which took place northwest of Levanzo island.

The local fishing communities maintain traditional methods while adapting to conservation guidelines, particularly in the seasonal tuna fishing practices.

Visitors can access the reserve through ferry services from Trapani, with 77 diving sites offering opportunities for both shallow and deep water exploration.

The reserve protects the Mediterranean's largest Posidonia oceanica meadow, spanning 12,536 hectares and producing significant amounts of oxygen.
