Press conference about the recognition of the Marine Protected Area “Torre del Cerrano” as a SIC site (Site of Community Importance).

Yesterday 30 Sept 2010, a meeting organized by the MPA Management Association was held in the offices of the Marine Protected Area in Torre Cerrano.

On 23 and 24 September 2010, the ancient tower “Torre di Cerrano” will be the venue for the event “The Park of Tomorrow”: workshops, conferences and proposals for the Marine Protected Area, and finally a dinner party in the Tower.

“Torre di Cerrano” is a beautiful tower located in the heart of the Marine Protected Area. It has been overlooking the Adriatic coastal landscape since the XVI century.
