SEATY – Local Marine Conservation and Education Areas

GOAL

Safeguard stretches of sea of special natural value through a strategy that embraces exploration, education, awareness raising and scientific research, involving citizens and tourists.

Discover the “marine cities” where you can learn about and protect the sea

Did you know that the Mediterranean Sea is a treasure trove of biodiversity, yet less than 1% of its waters are effectively protected?
It’s time to change course, and we can only do it by working together: that’s why we created the SEATY project, to protect biodiversity and promote a more conscious relationship with the sea.

Are you ready to dive into the Local Marine Conservation and Education Areas of Sardinia and Sicily? A sea of completely free activities is waiting for you!

Snorkeling

Every day, you can discover more about the underwater wonders by joining free snorkeling tours accompanied by Worldrise marine biologists.

Yoga

How do marine cities work?

You are allowed to bathe safely year-round while enjoying nature, explore and admire marine biodiversity without touching it, use kayaks/canoes, seascooters and seabobs, and collect plastic waste on the beach.

Fishing, sailing and anchoring, littering and abandoning garbage without using the proper receptacles, windsurfing and kitesurfing are not allowed.
