This extraordinary stretch of sea, covering over 15,000 hectares, is a precious refuge for marine biodiversity. The MPA is divided into three zones, each with specific rules to protect the ecosystem and promote a balance between humans and nature. <\/span><\/p>\n

Zone A: Integral Reserve<\/b> \u2013 Maximum protection. No human activities are allowed, except for swimming in designated areas. This zone serves as a natural nursery, where marine species can reproduce and strengthen their populations. <\/span><\/p>\n

Zone B: General Reserve<\/b> \u2013 A “buffer zone” around the Integral Reserve. Some controlled activities are permitted, such as sport fishing with lines for authorized residents and underwater photography, always respecting the environment. <\/span><\/p>\n

Zone C: Partial Reserve<\/b> \u2013 More activities are allowed here, including sport and professional fishing (even for non-residents), following rules that ensure the ecosystem remains healthy and productive. <\/span><\/p>\n

The MPA regulations are not a limitation but a tool to balance protection with responsible resource usege. This approach helps safeguard fragile ecosystems while ensuring opportunities for residents and tourists to enjoy the area.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1719181674262{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][image_with_animation image_url=”51007″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”20px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”75%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”70″][image_with_animation image_url=”51005″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”20px” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”75%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”40px” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”3%” bottom_padding=”3%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”3px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”flip-in-vertical” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”zoom-out” border_type=”advanced” border_left_desktop=”6″ column_border_color=”#5db4c9″ column_border_style=”solid” delay=”200″ column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”Areas involved in edutainment” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23006c9a” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1715544590776{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1715542353891{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Lazio<\/strong>: Ladispoli, Ostia-Roma, Santa Marinella, Anzio<\/span><\/p>\n

The first, located in an area with high human impact, is undergoing a restoration intervention developed by the Polytechnic University of Marche (DISVA). The second is near the Integral Reserve zone, in an area with low human activity and almost intact seabeds, and will be observed periodically to assess any changes in its health status. The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nursery and restoration techniques in areas where the coral has suffered damage.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit”

    Nel mare dell’isola sono stati individuati due coral hotspot: uno per l’intervento e uno per il controllo. Il primo, situato in un’area ad alta pressione antropica, ospiter\u00e0 un monitoraggio della Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn e un intervento di restauro dell’Universit\u00e0 Politecnica delle Marche \u2013 DISVA. Il secondo si trova nella zona B dell’AMP, vicino alla zona A, in un’area con bassa presenza umana e fondali quasi intatti, e sar\u00e0 monitorato per valutare eventuali cambiamenti dello stato di salute. Un protocollo d\u2019intesa con l’Area Marina Protetta Isola di Ustica garantir\u00e0 il supporto logistico e scientifico per la durata del progetto (due anni). L’obiettivo della ricerca \u00e8 valutare l’efficacia delle tecniche di nursery e restauro in aree dove il corallo ha subito danni. Il progetto prevede anche iniziative di informazione, educazione e divulgazione scientifica per coinvolgere la comunit\u00e0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Il monitoraggio delle colonie di Cladocora caespitosa<\/em> avviene secondo un protocollo sviluppato dalla Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn. Questo metodo permette di raccogliere non solo dati fondamentali su crescita, stato di salute del corallo (sbiancamento e necrosi), qualit\u00e0 e temperatura dell\u2019acqua, ma fornisce anche una base scientifica per la pianificazione di future azioni di conservazione. I dati raccolti arricchiscono il database dell\u2019Area Marina Protetta di Ustica, supportando una gestione pi\u00f9 efficace dell\u2019ecosistema marino.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-1-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_color_hover=”#ffffff” background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”grow-in” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”300″ column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]\n

Each polyp has a cylindrical shape with a crown of tentacles used primarily for defense against predators or to capture small food particles. The coral\u2019s primary nutrition comes from symbiotic algae, called zooxanthellae. The calcareous skeleton that forms <\/span>Cladocora caespitosa <\/span><\/i>colonies is made of calcium carbonate, creating \u201cpillow\u201d formations. These colonies build three-dimensional underwater habitats that provide shelter and nourishment for many marine species. <\/span>[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Symbiosis with Zooxanthellae”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″] The polyps of <\/span>Cladocora caespitosa<\/span><\/i> live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae, unicellular algae that reside inside the polyps and give them their characteristic light brown coloration. This symbiosis provides mutual benefits: the algae, protected within the colony, receive essential nutrients for photosynthesis, such as CO\u2082, phosphates, and nitrates derived from the polyps’ metabolism. In return, they assist the colony by eliminating metabolic waste and contributing to the construction of the calcareous skeleton. This close relationship is crucial for the coral\u2019s growth and resilience but is extremely vulnerable to climate change and rising water temperatures. Changes in these factors can trigger the phenomenon of bleaching, which severely damages the coral and exposes it <\/span>[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Reproduction”]
    Unlike other Cnidarians, Anthozoans do not have a medusoid stage. The polyps reproduce both sexually and asexually. The planktonic larva develops into the first polyp, capable of secreting a calcareous skeleton. In colonial forms, the colony grows through budding, with the formation of new polyps connected by the same skeleton. However, the species mainly spreads through the settlement of planktonic larvae on substrates suitable for colonization.<\/span> <\/div>[\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Characteristics”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]\n

    Cladocora caespitosa<\/span><\/i> is characterized by polyps with tentacles in multiples of six, sometimes arranged in multiple rows. The shape and size of colonies are influenced by depth, light availability, and water dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Common forms:<\/b> The typical hemispherical cushion shape develops in conditions of good illumination and strong hydrodynamism.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Branched forms:<\/b> More pronounced branching occurs in protected or deep environments, with minimal wave action and low light intensity.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • It is a long-lived species, with a generation lasting approximately 30 years.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Locally, it can be abundant, forming scattered colonies or extensive banks that create submerged reefs.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • This species can adapt to significant climatic variations, an important trait in the Mediterranean, where surface water temperatures fluctuate widely throughout the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • It contributes to seabed stability and helps reduce the erosive force of waves and storms.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Habitat and Distribution”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]Cladocora caespitosa<\/span><\/i> is a colonial species that grows on rocky or detrital seabeds from a few meters deep down to 35-40 meters, in environments exposed to strong currents as well as sheltered areas. Fossil specimens found in marine-origin rocks indicate its presence since the Pliocene (5.3\u20132.58 million years ago). It is found discontinuously throughout the Mediterranean and in some Atlantic locations (Morocco and Portugal). However, only in a few locations <\/span>Cladocora c. <\/span><\/i>forms beds (subspherical colonies of 10-30 cm, distinct from one another) or larger banks and submerged reefs form\u2014structures reaching several decimeters in height and covering several square meters.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Role in the Ecosystem”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]\n

      Cladocora caespitosa<\/span><\/i> is a true ecosystem engineer due to its crucial role in creating and maintaining complex marine habitats. By building coral reefs, it provides shelter, food, and safe breeding grounds for numerous animal and plant species, contributing to biodiversity and the stability of the marine ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The bioconstructions it forms are not just structures but real biodiversity hotspots in the Mediterranean. Its calcareous formations, rich in crevices and cavities, host a wide variety of organisms, from red algae to bryozoans, creating essential conditions for marine life. In this context, <\/span>Cladocora caespitosa<\/span><\/i> acts as a cornerstone of the ecosystem, ensuring the survival of many other life forms.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Beyond its undeniable ecological value, it helps sequester excess CO\u2082 and plays a fundamental role in coastal protection by mitigating coastal erosion. Its coral structures absorb wave energy, helping to preserve shorelines and maintain coastal ecosystem dynamics. <\/span>[\/nectar_responsive_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Accent-Color” heading_tag=”h3″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Protection”][nectar_responsive_text font_size_min=”14px” font_size_max=”20px” font_size_desktop=”1.1vw” font_line_height=”1.6″]\n
