The project purpose is the protection and improvement of the conservation status of Posidonia oceanica meadows and of Coralligenous habitats, which are both included in the Habitats Directive (92/43/CEE) and in the Natura 2000 Network. These habitats have been chosen for their high ecological value and their representativeness in the study area.
The project area includes the Gulf of Asinara and the North-western coast of Sardinia.

The Strong Sea Life Project arrives in Civitavecchia
The project aims to protect the protected habitats of Posidonia oceanica and coral reefs damaged by the presence of lost or abandoned fishing gear (ALDFG). The event will be an opportunity to present to the local population and stakeholders the actions already undertaken in the Gulf of Asinara to face this important challenge.

The biocenotic maps and anchorage sites in the Asinara MPA have been published
The researchers of the Strong Sea project have developed three maps to better understand the Marine Protected Area of Asinara.
The first map is dedicated to biocenoses, the communities of living organisms present in the area. The second reports the location and extension of the Posidonia oceanica and coral reef habitats. In the third, it is possible to identify the buoy fields, the zoning of the Marine Protected Area and the entry and anchoring points.
