What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at AMP Cinque Terre — Zona A di riserva integrale (Capo Monte Negro).
Second, smaller no-take core of the Cinque Terre MPA, off Capo Monte Negro (Punta Montenero) between Riomaggiore and Punta Montenero. Same zona A regime as Punta Mesco: only rescue/surveillance, manager's service work, authorised research, contingented finless bathing, authorised guided dives and authorised non-motor navigation are permitted — every form of fishing is excluded, and spearfishing is banned throughout the whole AMP.
