Strong Sea monitoring activities begin!
Reconnaissance activities for missing gear in the Gulf of Asinara are starting, thanks to the collaboration with the divers of the Sassari Fire Brigade. The activities will allow us to update the data in our possession and will allow us to plan the upcoming removal and inactivation activities.
The condition of each tool found will be carefully evaluated and on a case-by-case basis it will be decided whether to proceed with the removal or inactivation, choosing the most suitable procedure to protect the habitat.
