Ustica4 Also the protected marine area of Ustica, the oldest in Italy, being founded in 1986, for the preservation of the fauna and environmental heritage on sea bed surrounding the island, is now signalled by Resinex buoys. It was at the end of July 2006 that the delivery and placing of two light buoys took place.
These were part of a system ear-marked to mark the perimeter of the so-called Zone A, the most protected area of the park where navigation, mooring of any type of craft is forbidden. Fishing is also prohibited as well as any other activity that could disturb or alter natural characteristics of the environment. All the buoys are moored with a virtual mooring type jumper.
