FRANCE

Port Cros National Park (Le Parc
national de Port-Cros)

Côte Bleue Marine Park (Parc
Marin Côte Bleue)

Cerbère-Banyuls Natural Marine
Reserve (Réserve Naturelle Marine

Scandola Nature Reserve (Réserve 20 T. truncatus
Naturelle de Scandola), proposed

ITALY Continued use of driftnets (bycatch); overfishing; collisions and disturbance
Ischia/ Regno di Nettuno from fast ferries and hydrofoils; MPA could exclude damaging activities in a
key area
Sicilian Channel (incl Pelagie
Islands)*** Resource depletion caused by growing fishing activities (Italian and Tunisian
vessels); ship collisions for fin whales?
Pelagie Islands MPA (Isole Pelagie
area di reperimento) proposed, in 12 T. truncatus photo-IDs as of 1998
process of designation
