Interaction Between Cetaceans and Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean
Interaction Between Cetaceans and Small-Scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean Study Area 1: The Case of Central Mediterranean, Sicily, Italy. AUTHOR Clara Monaco Marecamp Association COORDINATED BY Marta Cavallé Mediterranean Coordinator Low Impact Fishers of Europe (LIFE) Credits Author: Clara Monaco Coordinated by: Marta Cavallé - The present report is part of a Collection of Reports where interaction between cetaceans and small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean has been analysed. This report shows the results in one out of three areas of study, concretely in Sicily, Italy. They all proceeded with a coordinated approach with common methodology and database. Please see the other two case study reports and Conclusive Report for further information. This report is one of the outcomes of the project “Mainstreaming Small-scale Fisheries in the Mediterranean”, carried out by the Low Impact Fishers of Europe, supported by the MAVA Foundation within 2018-2020. This report has been prepared based on the Letters of Agreement between the Low Impact Fishers of Europe (LIFE) and Marecamp Association. - Recommended Citation: Monaco, C., 2020. “Interaction between cetaceans and small-scale fisheries in the Mediterranean.

93 Fari Dismessi. Dall'abbandono Alla
Annali del Turismo, V, 2016, n.1 Edizioni Geoprogress FARI DISMESSI. DALL’ABBANDONO ALLA RIGENERAZIONE Antonietta Ivona Abstract Lighthouses decommissioned. From abandonment to regeneration. - The Italian legislation on cultural heritage introduced, a few years ago, the concept of enhancement and enjoyment of cultural heritage through the outsourcing of cultural assistance and hospitality services for the public. Particularly, the national Project "Valore Paese" of the Agenzia del Demanio is dedicated to lighthouses and it intends to encourage the promotion of the Italian public real estate through the synergy between the sectors of tourism, art and culture, economic and territorial cohesion. In this sense, the recovery of public assets owned by the State and local authorities has the possibility to be considered not only in terms of cost to the community, but also as a significant lever for territorial and social development, in a logic of public- private partnership. 1. I fari nel tempo Opere di ingegneria umana, ammantate di miti e leggende, i fari sono parte della storia della navigazione. Dai bagliori dei primi fuochi accesi sulle torri di avvistamento fino ai recenti dibattiti sul futuro della rete dei fari, essi hanno da sempre rappresentato anche luoghi identitari. I primi fari che la storia conosce non erano altro che falò di legna accatastata situati nei luoghi più pericolosi per segnalare la rotta ai naviganti. “I primi fuochi, che dovevano restare accesi tutta la notte, richiedevano continua cura: occorreva combustibile, sapienza tecnica, presenza costante dell’uomo” (Mariotti, 2013, p. 10). Con l’evolversi della navigazione commerciale, occorse sostituire i falò con strumenti di segnalazione più sicuri e, quindi, più potenti da ubicare nei porti lungo le nuove rotte commerciali. -
Santa Cecilia 2008 Now Is DOC Noto
Santa Cecilia 2008 now is DOC Noto If we imagine Santa Cecilia to be like a ship that has sailed for twelve years to reach Sicily, then here with the 2008 vintage and the new DOC Noto , we can imagine that the ship has found a mooring in the most beautiful and safest harbour that exists; also full of history, appeal and tradition. At last we can use the DOC Noto , thanks to which we can place on the label the name which represents the chosen territory of Nero d’Avola , the noble grape from which this wine is wholly produced. The new disciplinary of the DOC Noto was completed in January 2008 and was created with the intention of uniting the two historic grapes of the area, Moscato di Noto and Nero d’Avola , which between Pachino and the country to the south of Noto have been known for centuries. Two vines that can provide strength to the territory under a single name, DOC Noto. Planeta has always wished for a DOC Noto and has always considered it fundamental to be able to communicate the importance of the territory of origin of their wine. Noto, that today can also boast the prestigious title of a UNESCO Heritage Site. Noto and Nero d’Avola, Noto and the baroque, and Noto and its Passito are a single entity. We are firmly convinced that the DOC Noto and Nero d’Avola will become similar to that of Montalcino and Sangiovese; a unique area, extraordinary and without equal. Santa Cecilia storytelling In 1997 we decided to make wine from nero d’Avola grapes with a small addition of syrah , from our vineyard in Menfi and Sambuca di Sicilia. -
AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli
AEOLIAN ISLANDS STROMBOLI Day One: Stromboli Stromboli is the northernmost island of the archipelago and the most spectacular for its continuously active volcano. On the way, you will stop for a nice swim in the clear blue water. At sunset the lava from the volcano glowes as it makes its way down to meet the sea with a loud hiss. To watch the eruptions is especially impressive at night Enjoy the volcanic eruptions lighting up the night sky, a fiery display of nature’s incredible power, while you taste the tasteful delicacies of the chef under the stars. PANAREA Day Two/Three: Panarea Morning departure for Panarea. Panerea is tiny, compared to the other islands, but is the most picturesque with its stark white houses and brilliant yellow ginestra bushes. This island is chic and exclusive. By boat is the best way to explore its coastline and enjoy its clear waters that, together with a thriving underwater landscape make this island the best place for snorkeling and diving in the Aeolians. The island’s charm lies not only in its natural beauty but in its unspoiled character and car-free tracks. Most of the beaches are only accessible by sea, like Lisca Bianca, Basiluzzo and Spinazzola. Panerea is also called the "jet-set" island as it is crowded with young celebrities and its nightlife is particularly lively. SALINA Day Four: Salina Salina is a lush island with thick yellow gorse bushes and terraced vineyards. The island is also known for its delicious Malvasia wine, produced in both red and white varieties. -

TEMPLADO1, A. RICHTER2 and M. CALVO1 1 Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC), José Gutiérrez Abascal 2, 28006 Madrid, Spain 2 Oviedo University, Faculty of Biology, Dep. Biology of Organisms and Systems (Zoology), Catedrático Rodrigo Uría s/n, 33071 Oviedo, Spain Corresponding author: [email protected] Handling Editor: Marco Oliverio Received: 21 April 2014; Accepted: 3 July 2015; Published on line: 20 January 2016 Abstract A previous molecular study has revealed that the Mediterranean reef-building vermetid gastropod Dendropoma petraeum comprises a complex of at least four cryptic species with non-overlapping ranges. Once specific genetic differences were de- tected, ‘a posteriori’ searching for phenotypic characters has been undertaken to differentiate cryptic species and to formally describe and name them. The name D. petraeum (Monterosato, 1884) should be restricted to the species of this complex dis- tributed around the central Mediterranean (type locality in Sicily). In the present work this taxon is redescribed under the oldest valid name D. cristatum (Biondi, 1857), and a new species belonging to this complex is described, distributed in the western Mediterranean. These descriptions are based on a comparative study focusing on the protoconch, teleoconch, and external and internal anatomy. Morphologically, the two species can be only distinguished on the basis of non-easily visible anatomical features, and by differences in protoconch size and sculpture. -

The main deformations are subvertical extension fractures (63% Accepted 13 January 2009 of data), normal faults (25%) and dikes (12%). The mean orientation of the extension fractures and faults is ∼N38◦E, with a mean opening direction of N135◦ ± 8◦, implying extension with a moderate component Keywords: of dextral shear. These data, matched with those available for Stromboli volcano (pure opening) and Arc volcanoes Vulcano, Lipari and Salina volcanoes (predominant dextral motions) along the eastern-central Arc, suggest Extension Unrest a progressive westward rotation of the extension direction and an increase in the dextral shear. The dextral shear turns into compression in the western arc. The recent unrest at Panarea, coeval to that of nearby Stromboli, may also be explained by the structural context, as both volcanoes lie along the portion of the Arc subject to extension. -
