A project proposal for the construction of the underwater archaeological nature routes into the Protected Marine Area of Santa Maria di Castellabate
Journal Title: International Journal of Environment and Geoinformatics - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The coast from Punta Tresino to Ogliastro at the National Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano is rich in caves while the bottom is cloaked in seagrass meadows on which shipwrecks dating from the Roman era and World War II were found. Natural landscapes, above and below water, interspersed with eloquent archaeological landmarks: coastal quarries, a roman harbour, remains of maritime villa with aquaria for fish farming. For this multileveled territory, a project proposal for the construction of underwater archaeological nature routes which aims to promote new ways of using archaeological heritage would be desirable.
