The institutional missions of the MPA are:
1. protection and enhancement of the marine environment,
2. environmental education,
3. awareness and information of users,
4. research and monitoring,
5. integrated coastal zone management,
6. promotion of sustainable development, with particular
reference to the eco-compatibility of tourism.
It is divided into four areas of different protection levels and with
different access possibilities and use limitations:
A zone (no take zone)
B zone (general protection zone)
C zone (partial protection zone)
D zone (protection zone – few limitations)

The MPA includes the largest (about 12,500 hectares) and best
preserved Posidonia oceanica meadow of the Mediterranean Sea.
Posidonia plays different roles crucial to the marine ecosystem.
Nursery and spawning area
coastal erosion mitigation
produces oxygen, absorbs a very considerable amount of CO2

The Monk seal is back The seal was nearly extinct. After 20 years
of protection, numerous reports and
sightings occurred. Then ISPRA and MPA placed phototraps in some caves and
documented the presence of Monk seal
(Monachus monachus), classified as
critically endangered by the IUCN, during
the winter season

MPA placed 96 repopulating anti-trawling
bollards, to reduce illegal coastal trawling, that
can damage seabeds, destroy Posidonia
oceanica seagrass, deplete fish stocks
Bollards are made of sea-friendly concrete

A Sea Turtle First Aid Centre
At the basement of Palazzo Florio, seat of the City
Council, a sea turtle first-aid center was set up, with
veterinary equipment. The Centre operates in the
summer for the hospitalization of injured specimens (for
impacts with boats, swallowed fishing line, etc.), housed
in special tanks before being treated and returned to
freedom after the convalescence. The center is also a
visitor center and an environmental education center.
