Services




Tourist and Fishing Activities

Thanks to agreements made with the fishing operators, the Park Authority has promoted new services of fruition in Capo Rizzuto Marine Reserve, giving birth to a project of "fishing&tourism" which already represents a reality in other Marine Protected Areas.
Thanks to the availability of small fishing boats and to the collaboration of the fishermen who own them, it will be possible to accompany tourists and fishing areas' residents close to bays and little inlets where, provided with the adequate fishing equipment (fishing lines, rods, and reels) they will be given the opportunity to fish only pre-arranged quantities.
These initiatives are aimed to create an environmental sustainable service which will be useful not only as far as entertainment, but also as far as employment is concerned: as a matter of fact, the service will be carried out by the local navy and by human resources coming from the world of small fishing.
The service is based on the collaboration and the agreement with the local navy, on the direct involvement of the fishermen co-operatives present on the territories of the Province and of the Park Authority, the manager of the area.
