FIGURE 4 Location of 2 underwater itineraries at Levanzo Island

Two illustrated books dedicated
to underwater itineraries at Egadi Islands’ MPA

All the information collected on each underwater
itinerary (i.e., a list of species, bathymetric distribution
of species, type of seabed, depth, orientation, and
morphology of the path) were combined in a digital
format and published [8, 9], (Figures 5, 6).
