Luminous mooring buoys were installed in 3 scuba diving sites characterized by fragile habitats, chosen according to conservation priorities, in agreement with the Liguria Region, sector operators and SCI management bodies.

The presence of the buoy guarantees eco-sustainable access to the site, as the boats of the diving centers will be able to take advantage of a temporary mooring and will no longer have to use anchors.
