Meadows of Posidonia and sand, rocky complexes, reefs, vertical cuts and small shoals are creating very good conditions for marine organisms. The seabed is extremely rich in varieties of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, nudibranchs, echinoderms, polyps, anthozoa and others and dangerous aquatic except sea urchins are not frequently met.
