Actions
The re-introduction of P. ferruginea will be carried out by transferring to Portofino MPA specimens from the Tavolara MPA (Northern Sardinia), where a rich population in good health is still present, with more than 3,100 specimens and setting up an hatchery of P. ferruginea, adopting assessed aquaculture protocols, to produce new specimens in a controlled environment to extend the repopulation process and replicate it in the other MPAs.
