Junto a esta isla, 2 donde se alberga la población histórica, se sitúan otra serie de islotes como es el caso de La Cantera, al W., La Galera, al S., y La Nao al E., y escollos, la mayoría frente al perfil Sur 12 de la Isla Plana, como son la Naveta, Sabata, Cap del Moro, 16 Escull Negre o Escull Roig. Toda esta gran cantidad de pequeños accidentes geográ- 13 ficos en las aguas que circundan Nueva Tabarca hace que 14 desde época antigua se considerase de gran peligrosidad la 15 navegación en sus alrededores, y de ahí, el antiguo nombre Ruta Sendero griego de “Planesia”(engañador).

In the early 16th century, the north and south wall of the church proper and the northwestern squinch were decorated with wall paintings from the life of the Virgin, the Stem of Jesse, the Last Judgment and the standing saints, while the cupola was decorated with Christ Pantocrator, the Deesis-Supplication, the Apostles seated on thrones and the Prophets. Unfortunately, after the Turkish invasion in 1974 and the occupation of the area by the Turkish army, the systematic destruction and removal of the wall paintings from the monument began. The faces of Archangels Michael and Gabriel in the conch of the apse were barbarically destroyed, while the wall painting of the Birth of Christ was removed. These wall paintings are dated from the end of the 12th or early in the 13th century. The great wall paintings of the Stem of Jesse and the Last Judgment (early 16th century) were fragmented into small pieces and removed from the south and the north wall on which they were painted.

Snyder The Mediterranean is not merely geography. [. .] The Mediterranean is not merely history. — Predrag Matvejevi ć 1 Così convertendo il suo remo in penna, il suo mare in inchiostro, e la sua trireme in un libro manuscritto, il feci scorrer per l’Egeo de’ letterati, accioché mi dicessero, s’egli era bastante per resistere agli assalti de’ pirati malevoli, e fatto sicuro alfine da mordaci incursioni, alle stampe il diedi. 2 Thus wrote Giovan Battista Andreini (1576-1654), arguably the leading Italian comic playwright of the seventeenth century, in the dedicatory preface to the revised edition of his early comedy entitled Lo schiavetto (The Little Slave). 3 In personifying the process through which the original script of the play was transformed into this published literary work, Andreini employs an extended metaphor that must have made ready sense to his contemporary Baroque readership. For the character whose name also serves as the title of the work is portrayed in these lines as an unwilling participant in a central institution of early modernity—one whose very existence depended upon Mediterranean voyages. The “little slave” is, without a doubt, a galley slave, although one who in Italy will exchange his “oar” for a “pen,” salt water for “ink,” and his ship for a manuscript.

  • Intra-Annual Variability of an Artificial Reef Fish Assemblage in the Marine Reserve of Tabarca (Alicante, Spain, Sw Mediterranean)
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE. 55(2-3): 824-835. 1994 INTRA-ANNUAL VARIABILITY OF AN ARTIFICIAL REEF FISH ASSEMBLAGE IN THE MARINE RESERVE OF TABARCA (ALICANTE, SPAIN, SW MEDITERRANEAN) Just T. Bayle-Sempere, Alfonso A. Ramos-Espld and Jose A. Garda Charton ABSTRACT An experimental artificial reef was designed and placed in the Marine Reserve at Tabarca (Alicante, SE Spain) to avoid trawl-fishing activities on the Posidonia oceanica seagrass bed and to provide alternative fishing sites. The fish assemblage monitoring of the experimental artificial reef for I year is presented. The number of fish species recorded (21 spp.) is lower than that found for nearby natural rocky bottoms close to the site studied. This difference can be accounted for due to reef characteristics, such as module design, relative low volume submerged, excessive depth andJor high degradation of P. oceanica beds surrounding the experimental artificial reef. Changes in the fish assemblage throughout the study period due to seasonal nature cannot be clearly distinguished from later colonization episodes. The main effect of the experimental artificial reef seems to be the attraction of subadults and adults of demersal fish species from nearby natural rocky bottoms. The study of the effectiveness of artificial reefs (ARs) deployed in coastal zones is essential when programming fisheries management (Bohnsack and Sutherland, 1985; Seaman and Sprague, 1991). In this respect, it is important to determine the "status of the AR" already installed (Bortone and Kimmel, 1991), especially when functioning hypotheses are proposed. In spite of large numbers of ARs already present along the Mediterranean coast, especially on the Valencian Community (a Spanish regional department) coast (BeIda and Jover, 1992), their ecological effects and performances for fisheries are largely unknown.
