What this zone is
Overview
How spearfishing is treated at AMP Penisola del Sinis - Isola di Mal di Ventre — Zona A di riserva integrale (Scoglio del Catalano).
Zona A (integral reserve) covering the sea all around the Scoglio del Catalano, south of Isola di Mal di Ventre, delimited by the regolamento D.M. 20 luglio 2011 n. 188 (G.U. n. 267 of 16 November 2011). Pesca subacquea is prohibited across the entire AMP by art. 5 of the establishing decree, and this integral-reserve zone admits only rescue, service and authorised research, so the rock and its surrounding water are completely closed to spearfishers.
